Despite "the industry going through tough times"
We good over here. 💪🏽

Id rather have an idea on what’s cooking at WW studios before hearing about a controller..

[Eonjay]

@Cacabunga

That's usually handled by PlayStation, not Sony. Allegedly we are less than a week away.

Also, is it just me or isn't that a handheld concept rather than a controller concept?

[darthv72]

Did someone say controller.....?

[ConsoleAgnostic]

Let's not forget they did layoffs also.

[Profchaos]

That's not a legit next gen controller tease it's a artsy mock up meant to represent that Sony intends to be in the gaming space for the long term.

Look at that and tell me anyone would have a good time with that weird thing

[outsider1624]

It's a concept alright.

"It’s worth remembering that this is merely a concept, and it doesn’t necessarily mean it will translate into a future product."

[RaidenBlack]

I want a "breakable" controller.
A typical controller with even more detailed haptics feedback that can be detached from the middle a la VR controllers style or joy cons + motion control on both parts.
That'd be something new.

[Profchaos]

If we got to pick I'd like a little more flexibility personally I don't like the duelsense and I greatly prefer the feel of the ds4 in my hands the ds4 to me at least is the best controller and company has made to date.

So at first I didn't care I couldn't use it on my PS4 we get haptics and trigger feedback so it's fine but we are years in and I still don't like the duelsense it's just to bulky and heavy.

So id like the ability to chose from more controller designs a small medium or large pad would be great

"Look at that and tell me anyone would have a good time with that weird thing"

Are you kidding?

If it had good games of course people would play on it.

[Gameseeker_Frampt]

You must of completely missed the Wii U.

[-Foxtrot]

Yeah looks awful

Why fix what’s not broken

They should just focus on battery life and haptic feedback.

[romulus23]

Depends on what you consider "a good time", wink wink, nudge nudge, ok I'll see myself out.

[PassNextquestion]

They probably used ai to produce the concept for the controller

[Barlos]

I know it's only a concept but that controller isn't something I need in my life.

[purple101]

sony had a corporate meeting where they basically apologised, for aiming to sell 25million ps5 and only selling 21
meanwhile xbox sells 6million in the same timeframe. Japanese culture on display for all to see.

"We are sorry we decimated the competition by such a small amount, we wanted it to be bigger, rest assured, we will try harder..."

[badz149]

proceed to perform seppuku

[Petebloodyonion]

That's a slick controller design that reminds me of Minority Report.
Might be a concept but DAMN it look nice!

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

"Moving forward, the company aims to proceed with commonizing IDs for services across the Sony Group"

This is terrible no matter how strong your security is.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Maybe the next controller can have independent paddles, really surprised they never implemented that with the PS5 controller, seemed like a no brainer.

[TwoPicklesGood]

Give us our first party games and a roadmap for 2025.

Regarding the “controller”… hell no.

[SonOfOsiris]

Rip sony

[Inverno]

Seems like the future will finally be truly mobile judging off that render. It's more believable now with handheld PCs and phones capable of console graphics, and I'm all for it. Ninty pretty much rode the wave at its inception with the Switch lol
