Rumour Mill – Sony PlayStation 4 to get Kinect-style controls

The PS4 is still a rumour but it now comes with strong suggestions of a body-motion controller

After the PlayStation Network hack and now Apple and Fox News being hacked, it’s all starting to get more mundane and the fear associated with picking up a PS3 controller grows weaker. If grabbing a Sony controller is still too much for you, the PS4 has you covered with manufacturers leaking plans for a body-motion Kinect-style controller. The console, which will compete with the Nintendo Wii U, will go into production at the end of 2011 for a 2012 release of 20 million PS4 consoles. Although we’re taking that date with a pinch of salt bearing in mind Japan’s recent natural disaster.
