Except that the touchpad is nearly identical to PC laptop touchpads, so games can be designed for mouse w/ touchpad as backup on PC,
and directly translate to a PS4 game with every player ensured to have at least a touchpad, with full mouse/keyboard support like PS3.
Merely supporting mouse/keyboard doesn't ensure that all players will have that, thus a backup input method is needed,
with touchpad, it is basically in the same position as PC laptop touchpads, and even if not AS optimal as a mouse,
it's sufficient to allow games to be designed around an imput method where mouse/keyboard takes prime spot.
