Yoshida explains why the camera is sold separately

Shuhei Yoshida, or simply PlayStation boss, explained why the camera of the new PS4 was not included in the box.



Since the PS4 offers so many possibilities, there is no need for all games use all functions of all devices. Rather than forcing users to pay the camera, he thinks it is best to separate purchase for those who desire. Sell ​​the camera separately implies that the console can be more affordable. But the camera can be used in conjuncture with the Dual Shock 4 for the detection, which can provide features like exchange screens depending on the position of your body when a game in split screen. We prefer to let it spread gradually rather than mandatory. However, the handle alone can change colors between the players and can be used in many ways like shine when damage received in. He thinks the camera sale separately is a good idea, priced at around $ 60, it is n imagine not charge extra for a feature not used by everyone. Moreover, we do not yet know all about this device, yet many things are possible. Without looking for a FanBoy, Kinect is what, according to him, raised the price. The price of the Xbox One would certainly be identical if the device was not required, unfortunately it is.
