computer entertainment system.

Wireless Controller for PlayStation®4 (DUALSHOCK®4)

Utilizing a similar design as the popular Wireless Controller for

better gaming experiences. DUALSHOCK®4 incorporates a new highly sensitive six-axis
sensor, as well as a touch pad located on the front of the controller, which offers gamers
completely new ways to play and interact with games.

DUALSHOCK®4 features a light bar on the top with three color LEDs that illuminate
in various colors. The light bar illuminates to match the color of characters in a game to offer
a simpler, more friendly way to identify players, even when playing side by side. The light bar
also changes patterns during gameplay to provide useful information to gamers, such as when
a character is critically low on health or has taken major damage.

In addition, DUALSHOCK®4 will come with a built-in speaker and stereo headset
jack, enabling PS4 users to enjoy high-fidelity sound effects of games from both the TV and
also from the controller. Combined with the Mono Headset that will be bundled with PS4,
gamers will also be able to chat with friends playing online, while hearing sound effects from
the controller in hand.

While integrating “SELECT” and “START” buttons on DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless
controller into a new “OPTIONS button”, DUALSHOCK®4 is newly equipped with a
“SHARE button” to further enhance PS4’s social capabilities. The “SHARE button” allows
gamers to easily broadcast their gameplay in real-time to friends through internet streaming
services such as Ustream. Users can also share their triumphs and accomplishments by
uploading video gameplay to Facebook with the “SHARE button”. Unlike streaming content
via PC, users no longer have to convert data formats of their recorded gameplay, but can share
it with ease. Additionally, gamers can charge DUALSHOCK®4 while PS4 is on standby or
through a dedicated charging station. For convenience, DUALSHOCK®4 can also be charged
with smartphone chargers via USB.

During the creation of DUALSHOCK®4, Sony Computer Entertainment worked with
key partners in the development community to improve the feel of the left / right sticks and the
trigger buttons, the result is a much tighter sense of control over in-game actions.

PlayStation®4 Eye

PlayStation®4 Eye, a newly developed camera for PS4 incorporates two high-sensitive
cameras that have wide-angle lenses with 85-degree diagonal angle views which can recognize
the depth of space precisely. This enables PlayStation®4 Eye to cut out the image of player
from background, or to grasp players’ position in front and behind, further broadening the
ways to enjoy games. Incorporated four microphones are also capable of accurate sound
detection and source origination. In addition, users will be able to login to their PS4 with face
recognition and are capable of using their own body movements or voices to enjoy games
more intuitively. Furthermore, PlayStation®4 Eye senses the color of DUALSHOCK®4’s
light bar to judge the positions of multiple players, and set characters in the same positions or
let a character talk to a particular player, enabling players to enjoy games in new way.
PlayStation®4 Eye also supports PlayStation®Move motion controller. It detects the motion
of PS Move more precisely, and reflects players’ in-game motion more accurately than ever.

SCE will announce new details of PS4 and its robust lineup of games from 3rd party
developers and publishers, the independent gaming community and SCE Worldwide Studios,
as well as further enhancements to the entire PlayStation ecosystem between now and the
holiday 2013 launch.
