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.

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.

You don't have to always play with 8 just because that's the max. I know a lot of the time when I had 4 friends over and we all couldn't play at once and always switched who played. If they make games that can handle more than 4 players than that would be great.

LWT I think four is better than eight


But Xbox can support 4. And beyond. More is better than less.(gaming wise)


yea but no one will need 8, so sony thought ok, we wont bother developing for 8, only 4. Instead we will let the playstation eye capture 8 people :D only way you would play with 8 people anyway i guess
