A newly leaked photograph purporting to be of the rumoured PlayStation 4 shows the console will feature a touchscreen controller, building anticipation ahead of the upcoming Sony press conference.
The photograph – published on the Destructoid website which assures readers the veracity of the picture has been confirmed by multiple sources – shows a hand-held Dual-Shock style controller featuring a touch-screen panel on the front and big blue light on the back, and is alleged to be a prototype of the controller for the widely-expected PlayStation 4.
As reported by HumanIPO recently, Sony has sent out invites for a February 20 press conference, with the company explaining that “the future of PlayStation” will be the topic of discussion.
However, rumours were immediately sparked that a new model PlayStation would be unveiled at the conference, given Sony’s historical favouring of press conferences to announce and launch new products, having done so in 1999, 2005 and 2011.
