What's with Sony's obssesion with massive balls on their controllers, surely the sensors aren't that big.
They help with tracking.

Sexy.I wouldn't mind something like this but a little bigger, complete with bigger sticks...

Neither company is going as cutting edge as last generation in terms of hardware, it seems. It's not unimaginable that they would make consoles with extra functionality in the controls. 720 will have Kinect 2.0 for example - so what will PS4 have?I don't think either companies are going to have controllers that will bump up the cost or the loss at which they sell their consoles for, at least not significantly.
The new console - codenamed Orbis - will be revealed in a matter of weeks, not months.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! I'm guessing May, as the other Sony employee had said.
Battery life will suck though.

Vita's battery life isn't too shabby, and it has a lot more processors than this controller will have.
I don't think the battery life will suck. Even with a touch screen, it's still pretty low power without all the processors and whatnot.
Why do you guys want a screened controller? It doesn't seem to be adding much if anything to the experience with the Wii U. Looking forward, 90% of the use seems like it's going to be mini-maps and menu/inventory pecking. It just seems like a huge expenditure for relatively little gain.

Some things mentioned in the Sony patent... in summary, they can be used to more accurately determine or even predict the relationship between your fingers and the controller.
It also talks more in passing about potential applications in concert with eye gaze tracking, touch panels or touchscreens, and cameras for tracking fingers.
The screen would likely not be used for major games but rather to improve accessibility and for use with applications and smaller, tablet/phone like games
Hmmmm....
Would Biometric sensors be a way to mitigate Gaikai latency!?
Has this been brought up in the thread yet??? By trying to accurately "predict" hand movements, Gaikai could be receiving input information before the end user receives their own positive feedback after pressing a button.
Why would that be desirable for a stationary console when everyone already has (or will have) phones/tablets? I mean if mobile is destined to kill consoles like so many are claiming these days, tacking on similar experiences is only going to take away from something that could set consoles apart. They're not going to stave off the mobile onslaught if that's what you were getting at, portability will always trump all for people looking for those types of experiences.

Well, no. You need something measuring brain activity for that. Biometric feedback would probably measure heart rate.
Nothing's confirmed. The next xbox and playstation consoles haven't even been announced yet.Dang, just seeing this thread. What's confirmed, what's rumored, what's speculation, what's wild fanboy fantasies?

How did the Dual Shock design go from being the best controller ever made in the PS2 gen to the worst in the PS3 gen when it didn't change except for the triggers?
