I think PS4's touchpad controller is an interesting development in that aspect.
AFAIK, it's resolution is very high, apparently 1920x900.
That allows for games to rely on that as a central aspect of the interface.
Pretty much putting it on par with laptop PCs with touchpads...
You can still use a mouse with PS4 also, and that may be a superior experience,
but the universal presence of a touchpad allows games to actually be built around that functionality,
compared to if it the touchpad weren't there, the game would need to work decently with just sticks/dpad.
Touchpad/mouse are basically the same control scheme, just like on PCs with mice vs. laptop touchpads.
