Spelbloggen Kotaku lyckades få ett svar av Sony-bossen Shuhei Yoshida om varför själva hårdvaran inte visades upp under Playstation Meeting som pågick inatt. Såhär kommenterar han saken:
"As far as the Dualshock 4 is concerned we wanted to do the live demo. And we were like, yeah, we have to show the controller, because it's awkward not to show the controller when someone is doing a demo. And also the feature that the Dualshock 4 has, the share button, is a very key idea behind the design of the PS4... We really wanted to explain what we've done with the Dualshock 4, but as far as the system itself we have to keep something new for later. Otherwise you'd get bored."
