Honestly I could see them doing something like linking controllers to single accounts.

Want to play with a friend? They had better have a controller and PSN account!

They’d advertise it as instantly play with friends via their account without needing to log in on each console. Then the controller of course would need a pin to verify, in case the controller gets stolen or sold. Maybe you need an app for that to further link your identity, or they add a fingerprint reader and make it more expensive.

Plus, it kills off the third party controllers sucking up all your potential revenue. They’re probably used by cheaters anyways, right? You can only trust Sony. You must submit to Sony.
