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.

A console that supports four controllers is sufficient, more and it isn't really needed.

Boar I don't see why they they'd drop it to 4, 8 is good even if it won't be used.


You would need a big TV for 8 people.

Impossibility should have kept it at eight


They never had 8. Ps3 had the random number of seven.


I think even 7 is a bit too much. The perfect number for this situation is 4. Keep it simple and it looks nicer with 4 split screens that 7 o.o


they had 8 for mine ? what do you mean by seven lol


A lot of PS3s only have 7 controller support, if yours has eight I think you got a weird console lol


7 controllers is a little too much in my opinion, i couldn't picture 7 people on 1 PS3 at the same time

570 Sony step your game up, Xbox One has 8, but that is way too many you would need a 90 inch TV!


Well no, there is games where its not split screen however, like FIFA or Madden where it could be useful!
