Praise has been so far unanimous on DualShock 4, the controller prepared by Sony for PlayStation 4, and I can testify to that, having tried it at Gamescom. However, some concerning reports are appearing on the Internet: a Reddit user is claiming that his DualShock 4 has had its sticks worn down to plastic in just a couple weeks. He included this picture for proof
There is a more reputable source who talked about it as well. In their PS4 Hands-on video, one of the members of Official PlayStation Magazine staff briefly complained about the same thing. Of course, it could still be a particular issue with these two models, and obviously a new DualShock 4 will be covered by warranty, but still, it would be an unpleasant occurrence to say the least if this issue was widespread.
Anyway, we’ll all find out soon enough as PlayStation 4 is releasing next Friday in North America, and in three weeks in Europe.
