It's a fucking NFC reader slapped into a controller. If they get a parent for this bullshit, I'm patenting boogers & suing Sony C-suite execs & the patent office for having them.
Didn't the Wii have this already too for their amiibo or whatever?
Those weren't a payment method though, so it's completely different... /s
Close, amiibo started with 3DS/Wii U (and they can still be read by switch 1 and 2 joy cons).
There had been other NFC readers for games before, they were just not integrated into controllers as far as I know.
I think you mean the Wii U, but not that big of a mistake, since the Wii U only was a DLC for the Wii. /s
