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.

Yikes So what, what's so good about them anyway?


They're just the next generation of Dualshock controllers. Playstation 1 had Dualshock 1, Ps2 and Dualshock 2 and so forth.

Compliance I don't think the dualshock really matters.


as long as a controller is comfortable it's fine with me.

SOG @Mazur, I agree with you. The new PS4 controllers will be better.


i've actually liked Playstation controllers a lot better then xbox controllers. they just feel a lot better


I prefer the Xbox ones myself. Something about them just feels better. And this is coming from someone who owned/played both the PS1 and PS2 for his entire childhood.


That's a surpise Mazur. I find the handgrips much too small for my hands!
