The New Playstation

So if you haven't already heard the rumours  it would seem that by the end of this month we should all know either some concrete information on Sony's new PlayStation, or even know what it's going to look like.

It does however seem that there has been some leaked photos going around of what the new controller is going to be.  If you haven't seen it then the picture is below.




Personally I'm not a massive fan of this controller at the moment as it looks a big chunky in some aspects.  But what can we tell from the pictures so far?  Well you can see a socket for a jack at the bottom of the controller; is Sony going to do an Xbox and go for wired headsets as well as wireless?
There is also the screen on the front which some people are thinking is a touch screen built into the controller.  I don't see how beneficial that will be considering the size of it means you probably won't get a lot of display on the screen to touch.
You can also see in this picture a white box just above the screen.  Could this be a sensor for PlayStation move and this time round it's integrated into the controller to save having added peripherals??
Finally, the first picture I saw of this had the controller looking like a proper old-school wired controller.  Now I'm sure Sony wouldn't go back to them and this will no doubt be wireless but it does make me worry a little bit.

I'm not sold on this controller if it does in fact turn out to be the new PlayStation controller and leads me to have reservations about the console itself.  Either way Sony is still hurting from the hacking scandal and have lost a lot of consumer trust due to this, and this new console is their big chance to try and entice some of those consumers back to them and away from Xbox.

One thing is for sure; hopefully we should all know what is going on by the end of this month.
