The Official PlayStation 4 (Prototype) Controller Has Been Leaked

       Much news to come in the upcoming week, as many events tied to the next generation of video game consoles are to be revealed. Beginning with Bungie's reveal of their upcoming game, Destiny on Sunday and continuing into Tuesday and Wednesday with expected hype revolving around Sony's upcoming console, potentially dubbed PlayStation 4.
        Earlier today, video game news source, Destructoid posted an image depicting what clearly seems to be the controller for Sony's upcoming console, reiterating the former Cross, Circle, Triangle, and Square buttons, but reforming the traditional analog sticks, D-Pad, and PS buttons formerly found on Sony's previous DualShock line of controllers.
        The new controller seems to have innovated on features such as adding some sort of inverted detail within the center of each nub. As assumed, the start button and select button have been removed and replaced with the famous (or perhaps inFamous) touchpad which has been rumored up to this point. The PS button has been moved down slightly since the DualShock 3, while a built-in speaker seems to be placed directly above it. The speaker will most likely be used in a similar manner to that of the Wii remote's built-in speaker that Nintendo has used since 2006. Aside from those major changes, the new controller also features a modified version of the DualShock 3's D-Pad. Many complaints over this image have been issued on other competing sites, and while many of these complaints can be considered understandable, readers must realize that the leaked controller is merely a prototype and is only intended to be used by PlayStation developers in its current state. The final version of this controller may be completely different from the image you see here.
