Not much for the new Playstation DualShock4 controller and hoping to just use your old controller? Well, too bad.

Sony worldwide studios president Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that "No, the PS4 doesn't support the DualShock 3, but it does support PS Move." There was quite a few new capabilities added to the new controller: touchpad, earphone jack, move controller/lighting unit, share button, so it's not surprising news. But considering the news that PS3 discs would not work on the PS4 and streaming support would be there to play old game (eventually), possibly meaning you would have to re-purchase games you already own, it's not the best news for money conscious gamers out there. Especially if the rumors about the controller costing in the range of $100 turn out to be true.
