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.

DualShock - The most basic version which could provide vibration feedback as well as analog input. (PlayStation compatible)

DualShock 2 - A slightly updated version of the original DualShock controller. (Playstation and PlayStation 2 compatible)

DualShock 3 - Once again, an updated version of the DualShock 2 controller and provides basic motion sensing. (PlayStation 3 compatible)

DualShock 4 - Updated version of the DualShock 3 controller but with a touch pad, a more advanced motion sensing system, slightly new design feel and a non-removable rechargable battery pack. (PlayStation 4 compatible)


With the changes made to create the new DualShock 4 controller, I am not surprised by this.


Not to mention the 3rd Gen Dualshock also had a PS menu-button on the center of the controller and a Mini-USB plug in for wireless play after charging the controller.
