Interesting, but I wonder why they explicitly mention only the DualShock 3 controller. Would not the DS4 be the better option, considering the PS4 connectivity

Interesting, but I wonder why they explicitly mention only the DualShock 3 controller. Would not the DS4 be the better option, considering the PS4 connectivity and the launch date?
- tomflack 13y agoI can only think to keep costs down. But it does seem odd.
- mhurron 13y agoThey might talk the same protocol, but I'm willing to bet the initial target audience is people that are far more likely to have a PS3 already rather than hang its success on those that buy the PS4 at launch.
- luckyno13 13y agoSeems like they could have used some of the DS4's new functionality to retain some of the touchscreen capabilities from the Vita as well.
- phorese 13y agoI thought about that too, but then you'd have _three_ game tiers: No touch (VitaTV + DS3), single non-video touchpanel (VitaTV + DS4), and the Vita handheld :/
- robin_reala 13y agoDS4 is lunching with PS4, but there’s no reason why the Vita TV can’t have a firmware upgrade at the time to add support.
- Narishma 13y agoThis thing will release months before the PS4 in Japan, so it makes sense to use the DS3.
