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.

_Bale Who really needs four anyway... And as for Xbox one's 8 controllers, Pointless.


Exactly. Who is going to own 8 controllers at once lol


What if you invite bunch of your friends who has xbox to play with you with their own controller? I have plenty of my friends who has xbox and I know this is going to important to me especially for EA sports. Pointless? I don't think so, it's going to be epic. I need you need to make new (more) friends.

Axe 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.


I don't really think people would even want to have that many people on the same console though, the living room would be absolute chaos


Unless your living room is as big as mine :p. I got super lucky with my place it is HUGE.

Woobie Makes no sense why it has to downgrade to 4.. but whatever not getting it anyways.


They downgraded ? I thought it always had 4 lol.


It was originally 7 apparently, 7 is a little too much for local multi-player though
