PlayStation Eye Required?

Post by shurvir » Thu Jun 13, 2013 9:45 pm

I Think i remember reading or hearing that you need the PlayStation Eye in order to play your PS4 games. From what i can tell from Gamestop and amazon the PlayStation Eye does not come with the PS4 so is it true that we have need the PlayStation Eye or is it just a rumor.

The rumour was regarding a similar patent Sony has. I recall reading about it on ps3hax awhile back.
Here's the article, for reference.

yeah well, fact of the matter is you don't need the ps4 eye, it doesn't even come bundled with the system

PSP didn't com bundled with MemorySticks or data cables, doesn't mean you don't need one. Vita doesn't come with any memory cards by default either, even though you really need it.
Regardless, PS4 won't require the eye thing to work, for now at least.

has sony ever enforced an accessory on us? nope, plus they are actually taking people's reaction on this matter, remember they are the same company that made the best selling console and then beat their own record
