PlayStation 4 will support four controllers

4.3
PlayStation 4 will support four controllers - three less than the PS3.

SCE Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida confirmed the news on Twitter earlier today, specifying that the console will support four controllers at once.

This is down from the seven supported by PS3, and follows news earlier this week that the Xbox One will support eight controllers concurrently.

Yoshida didn't elaborate on the reduction, though very few PS3 games have taken advantage of the system's seven controller support.

According to CVG sources, Sony will reveal a PlayStation-branded virtual reality head-mounted display at the Tokyo Game Show later this month, where it will also show more than 50 games.

Meanwhile, Sony has confirmed the PS4 will support voice navigation and facial recognition via the PlayStation Eye.

PS4 will release November 15 in the US and November 29 in Europe and Australia.

I will not argue 4 is really all you need. At one time you really only have a max of 4 people on or else the box would be to damn tiny.

Well, this is totally unexpected, with the PS3 having 7 controller, and the Xbox One having 8 controllers.

The PS3 had 7 before but no games were developed to use 7 controllers.

I don't think there is anything wrong with having just 4, although xbox has 8 I think.

I don't even know what you could do with 8 controlers other than play like sports games.

CHP cant beat the xbones 8 but who needs eight? at 50 ea thats 400$ for controllers 0.0


Your friends will bring controllers. No ones saying you have to buy 8 just like for ps you don't have to buy 4


Yeah and when are you going to have more than 2-3 friends over at your house? Who would want to play a game with 8 people that's stupid.


Well I have a lot of friends and all we do is study 9 hours a day so when we like to take out stress we play games together.
4 is to little. It's the next gen and they're are keeping something that's stupid when it could be wrong. Don't be mad.


As I posted earliar 8 is excessive but theres the option there if you need it personally 4 is enough if you have 8 people playing at once it may become confusing and cause arguments between your friends etc.


The kinect recognizes who is using the controller :p. but it's there if you need it. Why complain about extra?
