Dualshock 3 controllers not supported on the PS4.

4.6
Despite Sony showing the PS Move controller being used with the PlayStation 4 during the console's unveiling event earlier this week, Sony says that the new console will not support the use of the standard DualShock 3 controllers.

"No, the PlayStation 4 doesn't support DualShock 3 but it does support PS Move," Shuhei Yoshida to said to sources.

It is unknown as to why DualShock 3 controllers will not be compatible with the PS4 as of yet.

Yoshida added, "That doesn't necessarily mean it won't work."

The new DualShock 4 controller was revealed during this week's PlayStation press conference, confirming features like a 'Share' button, a two-point capacitive touchpad, an internal speaker, headphone jack, and a lightbar for Move controller-like functionality.

I agree just like the 720 not playing 360 games


Nothing on the new xbox has been confirmed, stop believing rumors.


Yeah i heard the new XBOX doesn't play PS3 games,the same person told me XBOX was better than Wii U so i know it's got to be a lie.

How does this affect the quality of the console in any way? It will come with a new controller so what does it matter?


Yeah, the new controller has way more features, therefore the old controller cannot be capable.


Isn't it normal to have a new controller for a new console...?

I agree. The old controller was rubbish anyway.
