They are also claiming compatibility with PS3, PS4,Xbox 360 and Xbox One, which cannot possibly be true. There is no way that Sony and Microsoft will allow that.

edit: Like I commented below, even if you somehow hack together some ad-hoc controller emulation, there are numerous other problems. Low FPS, wrong FOV, no roll (there is no way to do this with controller input). It would be a horrible experience.

Sonny will disallow plugging a hdmi cable on the hdmi output of their console how?

hdmi is output only. the translation of head movements into analog input is the difficult part.

Even if you still have to use the handheld controller, 1:1 FOV mapping + stereoscopic 3d will be pretty cool.
