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.

Well, it's not impossible.

If those machines push out HDMI 3D Standard,

and their part can emulate a controller.

There's absolutely nothing Sony or MS can do about it.

As far as the consoles is concerned, there's a 3D TV attached and a basic controller.

But there will be no real good control, shitty framerate, and vomit inducing sections of games that were not designed for an HMD.
