Finally, PlayStation 4's Most Mysterious Feature Has a Purpose
Sony has apparently been keeping mum on one of the most mysterious features of the next-generation PlayStation 4 since launch in November: the controller's light bar, which couldn't be turned off or dimmed while the console was on.
Almost every single PlayStation 4 review dinged the next-generation console for this feature, as the several inch light bar would glow red, blue, green or any other color during gameplay. But now we know why it was added.

According to an interview with TechRadar, Jed Ashforth, senior designer at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, said the light bar is essential for tracking the controller's movement for virtual reality. It means upcoming Project Morpheus virtual reality headset had been baked in to the PlayStation 4 the whole time.
Ashford said everyone at Sony had to keep quiet about the light's main purpose.
"The tracking light … it was our department that said we need that on," said Ashforth. "It was for tracking for VR.
"And when all these things were coming out six months ago and everyone was going 'it's reflecting in my TV,' we were going 'oh no' because we couldn't tell anyone what it was for."
Sony hasn't revealed more about the Morpheus prototype headsets since the reveal at the Game Developers Conference in March, but we can expect to learn more next month at E3.
