  • Dual Shock 4 leak "genuine"

    Destructoid's PlayStation 4 controller image leak is more significant than overnight reports have suggested. Our sources confirm that what you're actually looking at is a complete Orbis dev kit - our first look at what we believe is advanced development hardware. The Dual Shock 4 prototype itself is a significant leap beyond its predecessor, featuring a two-point touchpad interface and, in addition, a built-in loudspeaker and what we understand to be integrated PlayStation Move functionality.
    The dev kit itself is a big old beast, but that's nothing new. The development versions of Sony hardware are historically rather immense compared to the production systems, as you can see from these shots of PS3 dev kits. Indeed, the Orbis kit looks surprisingly svelte by comparison.
    The custom casing won't give us too many hints on the form factor of the final console, but we'd imagine that the two USB 3.0 slots will make their way across to the production machine and we're fairly sure that's a standard slot-loading 50GB Blu-ray drive based on information from our sources. The two black "bumpers" on each end of the casing are interesting - initially we thought they may be elements of the much-rumoured dual camera system, but the reality is probably more mundane - we reckon they form part of the WiFi and Bluetooth antenna assembly. Next to the right bumper we see a range of embedded status indicator LEDs - this is standard equipment for Sony development hardware: variations are seen on both PS3 and even Vita dev kits.
