I'm sorry...what other gaming system uses a track pad like vita? Track pads afaik were mainly used in laptops and such before. I remember seeing a indian made tablet with a trackpad functionality ages back. 

Yeah you should hate them. I do too. It's a waste of time and useless. All companies take and improve ideas from one another. I would acknowledge ninty if this looked anything like theirs...it doesn't. Being paranoid is bad for your mental health you know

 Uh...Vita's touch pad does certainly not come from an idea Nintendo had.

 

 

Now I get what you're saying...ok, from the reflection of that initial pic, made me think the PS4 controller had a touchscreen. The new pic does make it look like a trackpad.  But honestly, that's worse IMO, I was HOPING the PS4 had a touchscreen, for things like play calling in Madden games, where it would also help unified development so there are no excuses about things being left out in different platforms, not making a Wii U version, etc.  

 

There are pros and cons to both approaches (touch vs track) In this case it would be a much much cheaper addition to the controller while giving some new input methods. I am perfectly ok with that. 

And when talking to an employee of evolution studios he said that a trackpad won't be something that gets in the way of normal controls but a complimenting input method to use in addition..as in you won't have to use both analog sticks and the screen at the same time for example. Mind you he didn't confirm the final controller having a track pad :P but I think it was a big hint

about the shiny bit yea we have many such trackpads that are glossy/shiny in nature. iirc even Ouya has one
