Are you trying not to understand?
Not sure why this is triggering you so much. Sony clearly wants to push the new features the DS5 controller has (otherwise they wouldn't have changed a single thing about their controller lol), creating the same exact controller would have been an easier sell than to create an entirely new one, for one (they didn't just change the design - they added new features to it). To ensure games use the new features, they need to make sure each console ships with the controller (this is a non-issue given that's always been the case with a new gen, so this is the easy part) and secondly they also need to make sure all PS5 games require the DS5 — this very thread exists because the OP wanted to use the DS4 and he wasn't able to do so. Sony has done what they can (and what is in their control) to ensure support for the DS5 on their consoles.
You've got an axe to grind or something here (not sure what) OR you're looking for a fight....you want to argue a point that was never made. lol
you countered someone that said people are making excuses for Sony to not support it. and all YOU did is make excuses while stating that you and others aren't making excuses.
there is no technological reason not to support it PERIOD
if you disagree with that you are delusional PERIOD
the DualShock 4 has all the necessary features needed to play every current and upcoming PS5 game PERIOD
Third party controllers are already on the way, with a premium one already out, that misses all of the Dualsense's features, more will follow, many people will buy those, many people will then own controllers that will miss features, those same people will still not be able to use their already owned DualShock 4's even tho they are as feature complete or more feature complete than said upcoming third party controllers (it already is more feature complete than the first one on the market)
ergo, Sony has no excuse to not support the DualShock 4 for PS5 games or at least let developers decide if you can or can not use them.
this is anti consumer and leads to complications in already existing games.
Example:
You have Borderlands 3 on PS4, the PS5 upgrade is out, you want to play the better version that also has new features like 4p splitscreen and other QOL improvements and better performance.
But wait... you can't upgrade... because you play it with your brother/friend/significant other in Splitscreen and you only have 1 Dualsense.
You can play the worse version of the game in Splitscreen, but not the better version, and the only reason being Sony arbitrarily locked out a perfectly funtioning controller for no reason that makes any sense to the customer
you are stuck with the slower loading, the worse graphics and less features, due to the choice Sony made. a choice that is unnecessary and has no technological reason either, as these controllers work on your console, just not with this arbitrarily chosen set of games that don't need any of the new Dualsense features and can never ever be designed around those features down the line either.
there are multiple games like that BTW. Mortal Kombat 11 for example... do fight sticks even work? my guess is no... so even worse here, you might have a 250€ gfight stick that just doesn't work with the updated version of the exact same game because Sony is once again being an asshole. and if they work this is just another reason why not supporting Dualshock 4 controllers makes no sense and is a dick move by Sony
