The story
Reports say a patent for Sony’s rumored new “DualSense 2.0” controller for the PS6 — currently in development — was published in July 2026. The concept reportedly replaces the current touchpad with a detachable 2.5-inch color display, letting players run dedicated mini-games right on the controller itself. On 5ch’s Hardware/Industry (“Geha”) board, the discussion covered doubts about how practical such a tiny screen would really be, battery drain, pricing, and comparisons to earlier similar attempts like the Wii U and Dreamcast.
Sony, said to be developing its next-generation console the PS6, may be introducing a new controller called the “DualSense 2.0.” Patent documents published in July 2026 reveal a modular controller concept that swaps out the current touchpad for a detachable 2.5-inch color display.
This small screen is reportedly meant not just to show supplementary info from the TV screen, but potentially to let players run dedicated PS6 mini-games directly on the controller itself.

What people said
"Switch U" never stops being funny. Watching it fall from grace is just too good

Yeah… that one never caught on either
This is the only site still cranking out baseless rumors like this
https://sumahodigest.com/
but as a way to squeeze money out of not-so-smart people, it's not bad
Some sucker's gonna buy it, right? They'll probably trot out the usual "just pick your games and you're fine" excuse
Re: #21
This site's been like this for ages — isn't there some site where you can report junk sites like this?
It's one of those fake-expert blogs
I keep seeing this affiliate site's links pop up on Geha lately — is the author astroturfing their own posts?
You turn it on and it goes "beeeeeeeep," right?
Ah, takes me back to the Dreamcast
Also, "mini-games" lol
Isn't this basically them responding to "the cutscenes are too long" complaints — like, "here, play some Tetris while you wait"?
Doesn't sound promising
You mean like a smartwatch-sized screen? lol
Milking consumables for easy profit
I mean, Sony's done this to itself before too, with the PocketStation
So now they're gonna sell us something that'll probably break in six months for like ¥30,000? 😹
Hand-held screens have already failed over and over, this isn't gonna work
Yeah, it's pretty obvious they're trying to mock us
Like, your precious "games" on a measly 2.5-inch screen is supposed to make you feel superior or something
Stuff like the DualSense's adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, PSVR2…
They put out devices with no clear purpose and no idea how to use them themselves
Since they never lead by example, it's always the buyers who end up looking like fools
The funniest part is they're always the first ones to give up and bail
stop making images that trick people
into thinking this is an actual reveal
of the real DualSense 2.0!
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
This story originates from a patent document reportedly published in July 2026 — nothing has been confirmed for actual production. The idea of putting an auxiliary display on a controller isn’t new, and the thread brought up comparisons like the Sega Dreamcast’s startup screen, the Wii U’s tablet-style GamePad, and Sony’s own PocketStation. All of these are past examples that failed to catch on, and that history frames the whole discussion. Opinions in the thread split between those who saw the small screen positively, as a “mini-game feature to pass the time during loading,” and those who saw it as “just extra hardware that drains the battery and jacks up the price.” Several commenters also questioned the reliability of the site that originally reported the story, so for now this should be read with some skepticism — as an unconfirmed patent report, not a done deal.
