    Apparently the WSJ has confirmed it, can't view the article because I don't subscribe but Kotaku says so. Then again, it's Kotaku, so take it with a grain of salt...

    There's also a rumor that the PS4 can be controlled with mobile devices.

    It's (the controller) honestly kind of ugly and looks like something you would expect to see from a third party controller, do not like.

    the two inch wide touch screen seems a little pointless, and it's hard for me to see it as anything other than following the tails of Nintendo like they did with motion this gen, but hopefully it will have a unique purpose that will make it seem justified in existing, and give a reason for why this has to be so ugly other than the fact that they just wanted a touch screen.

    needless to say I'm really interested in the ps4, and seeing that ps3 games may be streamable is certainly a good reason to buy it, but for somebody who wants to have the boxes to the games, it's not a selling point.

    I hope they end up changing the dpad back to the original one. Thats the same dpad for the Vita right? I don't like that one as much. Its too easy to click all directions at once, and you can't light tap it like the other dpad. Also for analog sticks, the circles would add a pointless texture that would lead to fingers slipping off when using it, and make light movements irritating. The touch panel seems pointless to me, what can they do that hasn't been done already on the DS? Controller aside, I am excited for the real system. Just hope the improvements will be made.
