gotta herd the consigger cattle
How often are people buying games where they would want this? I only buy like 4 or 5 games a year.
absolute snoyim will buy this
>>748638397>tell gf you need to keep credit card in snatch to protect from robbers>tell gf I'm gonna use my controller to give her a special massage>touch controller to her credit card and steal all her money>finally get to play GTA VI collectors edition
>>748638580What "games" would they even be buying? Wolverine?
>Nintendo did this years ago but it only matters now because it’s Sony/v/ is a literal cult
>>748638580I bought games on my wii u and 3ds with my pasmo. Shit was cash.
>>748638397Could be huge. Unironically. Point of sale hardware is pretty overpriced. If small businesses start picking up playstations to run cash registers that would be hilarious.
>>748638720Ereader is not the same as a credit card scanner you retard
meanwhile at valve
grabbing a card every time to tap to pay is more annoying than just saving your card to your account>>748638720bait but this wasn't for purchases, it was basically physical dlc that added things to games when you scanned a card
>>748638397Goymers deserve to suffer for not letting slop like GTAVI flop
>>748638786It will be like how half of Ps2 owners only bought the console just because it was a cheaper DVD player.
>>748638786can't you already just use a phone?
well the good part is that at least other consoles won't have that stuff anymore
Remember, you can choose not to buy a Sony product. Same with Microsoft products and Nintendo products and Valve products and Nvidia, AMD, and Intel products. You can always walk away.
>>748638786lol
>>748638936Much bigger potential though. A console is already a nice locked down pc. Load in the point of sale software as a 'game' and you potentially have a secure register. That stuff is kinda expensive for companies.
>>748638720>>748638841E-reader no, but the WIi U can take payment cards in Japan for the eshop
>>748639010Phone based credit services charge a premium and only really work for hobby level businesses.
>>748639010Square has a $50 attachment for your phone. The issue with using a controller that anon ignores is you still need a payment processing service which if yoh have, you probably already have something from them. Unless sony is offering payment processing with it at a cheap fee, his scenario is silly.

>>748638856This is LITERALLY a Sony patenthttps://patents.google.com/patent/US8246454B2
>>748638397Isn't the patent invalid if WiiU did that first?
>>748638786I see your point but probably only works for purchasing playstation stuff
>>748639536Scanning amibos isn't the same as scanning a cc for purchases
>>748638580>Pay $1.00 to skip ads>Pay $1.00 to beat boss>Pay $1.00 for new skinTake your microtransaction pick. Anything and everything they can think of to get an extra nickle out of your pocket. Every game is going to be geared towards Whales™ who will dump in excess of $1k on random cosmetic shit.
>>748638397Everything 4 the customer
>>748638720If you count that, then the Gameboy and NES had barcode readers, and games that generated your character based on the barcode you read in.
>>748639424I can't think of any other reason to have a credit card reader to be honest. Any ps owner would just punch in their own card manually. The card reader is a bit overkill. Unless the card reader is actually for scanning game cards or something.
>>748639708It is to make it easier for playstation users to just tap their card/phone without entering information. Quicker and easier means less time to regret ordering Wolerine.
>>748638580i buy 0 games per year. so i need that feature
>>748639654Nintendo is using NFC as a payment method in Japan.
>>748639708>Unless the card reader is actually for scanning game cards or something.Or they want to patent troll.
>>748638397>you must be 18+ to play this game please insert your credit card for verification
>>748639779Whats the overlap of people dumb enough to impulse buy wolverine and smart enough not to have their info saved in the console?
>>748639824Oh rly? Didn't knew that
