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.

Dior It is weird that they support PS Move but not the old controller


Move is newer so that's why it will be allowed on the PS4.


It's lame though, what about custom controllers...


get a custom ps4 :)


You think they would actually do that?


I doubt it, they should allow custom controllers though.


I agree. They should allow it.

Yea, wasn't that great.


I've never tried it before, but I heard it's new, so that explains it.
