Could it be headed in the same direction as the WiiU?

Sony's next console may not use the DualShock controllers seen in previous PlayStation systems. A new report suggests that the company is creating a radically different controller for the PlayStation 4, codenamed Orbis.
The DualShock, featuring rumble technology and dual analog sticks, was created for the PSOne in 1997. Its successor, the DualShock 2, was the standard controller with the PS2. The PlayStation 3's DualShock controller has wireless capabilities as well as Sixaxis motion control.
Sources tell CVG that few prototypes for the PS4 controller resemble the DualShock at all. Some iterations include an LCD touchscreen as well as biometric sensors for the grips.
