Well said Neogamer232
I always like well written comments on this site, agree 100%
I'm guessing around £399.99-449.99 in the UK.
Anymore than that and i think sales will start off slow.
i'm preordering as soon as they open, same as every other gen.
and with the Series X, we have not seen the UI walkthrough, controller features, console features.
No one wants to lose out on price. Whoever announces first will get undercut the day after.
I would place a dummy price placeholder to force the competition into a decision, and then double undercut lol.
Same as xbox one controllers then.
The point is not the controller out of the box, additional pads for PS5 games is the issue.
You do not have a choice, you have to shell out for additional pads as opposed to player 1 using the DS5 and player 2 using a DS4.
If that is the case, what is the point in making the DS4 compatible in the first place??
All in all, whatever features, it is still a programmable button press.
The amount of defense force is unreal.
They simply do not want you to use old accessories and are forcing you to buy new, it is that simple.
What if your friends does not own a PS5 and wants to play at a friends house on a PS5? What then?
do you know the full feature setlist of the new controller for Series X?
Please share...
I understand the new controller has new tech, that is not the issue.
The issue is why they are flat out not allowing you to use old controllers to play PS5 games, what has the new controller got to do with it?
You will most probably get 1 pad with the console, you are now forced to buy a DS5 controller if you want 2 pads to play couch co-op etc. Whereas with series X, you can just bang an xbox one pad in, there are additions to the series X controller tha...
no they have not

What does advanced tech in the DS5 and trying something new, got to do with allowing you to use your old pads on the new console?
Why not have both, give the gamer the option of not needing to buy multiple DS5 pads just to play local with friends etc.
@dragon
No because 360 pads work on the xbox one, as does the duke replica (resold as wireless), as will all previous controllers, accessories work on the series X.
I am just asking the question why they are not allowing it when it can be done, same with what they did the back compat.
@Sullys
There are gamers that do not like having the rumble feature in controllers, so they disable it in the controller settings. Nothing to do with tech, Sony can easily allow a DS4 controller to play PS5 games, the question is why won'y they?
So for local split screen etc, you have to buy an additional DS5 controller, forcing you to buy hardware.
My wallet is ready, hit me with it!!!
Yeah the recommendation is 10mbps download, or if Wi-fi 5ghz connection.
The minimum broadband speed is probably around 20mbps in the UK. Will work well in the home, but not so much on the move.
Edit : my mistake, the average in the UK is 64 mbps

The point i was making is you can use an xbox one controller, for a series x game.
All they need to do is implement detection on which pad is being used which can be done at a console level, and then disable said bells and whistles.
Just like how you will be able to disable the haptic feedback etc anyway, for people that do not want it.
Like you said, no excuse other than to force people onto the new pad/hardware.
"Will DualShock 4 work with PS5 games?
No, we believe that PS5 games should take advantage of the new capabilities and features we’re bringing to the platform, including the features of DualSense wireless controller."
That is a bummer, so you can not use old controllers for PS5 games. Why do they not mirror xbox where all accessories work.
Remote play requires you to be connected to your playstation, xcloud does not.
If you want to use outside of your network, the playstation needs to be in a low power standby mode and then gets "woken up"
Quite a difference.
