According to CVG’s industry sources, Sony is working on a new controller design for the inevitable PS4. This design will reportedly include biometric sensors in the hand-grips, and an LCD touch-screen.<\/p>\n

CVG’s source indicates that the new PS4 controller will borrow from the user interface philosophy of the PS Vita.<\/p>\n

It is also suggested that the old PS3 DualShock controllers will work with the PS4, but perhaps only as secondary controllers.<\/p>\n

Industry rumours are swirling that both Sony and Microsoft are poised to announce their next generation consoles very soon. The E3 expo is a likely event at which to do this, but Sony also hosting a Destination PlayStation event on 25 February, leading to hopeful speculation that the PS4 will be announced then.<\/p>\n
