I thought the DS4 was going to be forwards compatible anyway. So although it would be nice for the DSense to be able to replicate all of DS4's features (and I'm sure it will mostly), it's not strictly necessary. I personally don't think there will be any light tracking on the DSense so for PS4 VR games that use a controller you'll need a DS4. Then again, as has been pointed out multiple times, we haven't seen the back properly (which I keep forgetting).
Some really good mockups in this subreddit:

Yeah I was thinking from sonys perspective. Its interesting seeing the designs from PS1 all the way to now. It has always been good looking machines and I doubt it will be any different this generation. It will just be quite different in terms of color schemes from their usual one tone designs.
As someone who regularly switches between DS4 and Pro controller, the stick symmetry thing is blown way out of proportion and being used as console war tool. If someone can't move their thumb by 10 degrees sideways, they have bigger problems than controllers.
Plus speaker and headphone jack.
That you don't like the results doesn't mean the lightbar added nothing to gameplay.

Well that thought crossed my mind but that would leak soon if it's going out to developers
Yup.
I actually liked it. Having in game radio conversations coming from it was pretty neat. 😋
Having played PS2 and 3 a ton, I went the opposite way many years back when I got a 360 pad for PC and started doing the majority of my gaming there. It really didn't take long to adjust. Nor does it take any effort to re-adjust to the DS4 which I prefer for games like DMC5, Sekiro, or God of War.
i love the speaker too, it has way more uses and wish it was used more it adds a lot to immersion in the games when used right. like for comms or things like making a flashlight turn back on with that and shaking the controller. nice changes of pace lol.
i honestly dont even know where this person even got this idea that input lag was bad in the first place. first time i ever heard it. lmao. good to see its definitely one of the best on the DS4.
Holy crap. This is what happens when I play FIFA too much, it's always trash kn that franchise for some reason
based on that first patent. its probably finally adding gestures you could do on screen in the OS. like being able to swipe right to go to the end of something or swipe up to bring up a menu in the OS. Which would be awesome. i was trying to use the touchpad in the PS4 OS and it never occurred to me they never utilized it outside of typing lol. unless im going crazy.
Input lag is determined by many factors and controller lag is going to be among the least significant. It's going to vary a lot by game/engine, by framerate, and of course display, which could add over 100ms of latency if not configured properly. Compare that to the latency of even the slowest controller and you'll see how significant that is.
Dual Shock/Sense 6 is going to have a full on spidey web look.
