Hello PlayStation Blog readers! Today is a very special moment in our history. It’s been 20 years since the launch of the original PlayStation, which released in Japan on 3rd December, 1994. It seems like only yesterday! I’m so glad that we can celebrate this moment together. This controller is in every way better than the PS3 controller (minus the battery life which I'll get into later). It has better ergonomics, trigger buttons (R2, L2) don't slip off your fingers once you press them, palm grips more comfortable to hold, built in speakers, touch pad, light bar, share button and most importantly the headphone port! Sharing at your Fingertips: the addition of the Share button makes sharing your greatest gaming moments as easy as a push of a button. Upload gameplay videos and screenshots directly from your system or live-stream your gameplay, all without disturbing the game in progress

The original PlayStation was meant to embody that sense of adventure and discovery, that sense that anything was possible. Unlike the controllers in the PS4 bundle, however, the Touchpad will feature its normal dots, instead of the iconic PlayStation button shapes.
