IGN has "a trusted source" regarding the PS4 controller that the controller is real.

great job Sony!

Ridiculous. Who are you accusing Sony of copying now?

This controller concept is unlike anything on the Wii, Wii U or Xbox 360.

Real, but an old prototype. I like the concept of it, I just don't like how it LOOKS.

Obviously these protototypes are made to be cheap and functional. So we have no way of knowing what has been added or removed...

I hope Sony shows the final design at the Playstation Meeting!

My only problem is that it will drive up the cost of the console like the Controller Tablet does for the Wii U it alone costs about 170$.

No it won't, at least not by much.
Wii U pad costs nowhere near $170 btw


If you want to buy a gamepad alone it will retail at 175$ so far its only be available at retail in japan.

It won't actually cost that much to make. That's pure profit.

But that's how much a consumer pays for it and thats what we are so im right when i say that it costs about 170$.

My observations:

  • The touch area doesn't look like a screen at all, but merely a touch area, like the back of the PSV.
  • Looks like there are select/start buttons at the top left/right of the touch area.
  • It could end up being slimmer with the final version. But I could live with this size, at least its not xbox huge.
  • I like that they might use the PSV d-pad, which is the best ive used yet.
  • The analog sticks look like they would appease those who complain about the DS3 sticks, but I suspect they will go back to the same style we got with the DS3 and PSV analog sticks
  • We can't see the L2/R2 so we have no clue if they've been removed, I suspect they are there.
  • The speaker/mic would be a good possible addition, it won't change the need for a headset.
  • Possible headset jack at the bottom of the controller (good observation M.U.G.E.N)
  • Move like light at the top of the controller could replace the need for a whole separate Move controller.

Looks legit to me, even if it is a pre-production unit.

I'll just say I won't be surprised if that is more or less what the DS4, or whatever they call looks like when it hits production.

I figure these will probably retail for about $70. $69.99. I'd be surprised if they priced it at $79.99 unless they end up selling the PS4 for $349.

Don't forget what looks to be a headphone jack at the bottom

Yeah it really looks like the WiiU gamepad... SMH

This is a controlled leak!

Sony has been testing many different designs for the controller and this is one that didn't make the cut. Most of the reactions to this are negative and that's what Sony wants. On the 20th they'll reveal the real thing and won't have to worry about people having too much hype for the controller.
