PS4: 10 Features Sony Must Implement In The Next Firmware Update

5. A DualShock 4 Power Saving Mode

As it doesn't look like Sony are releasing a longer-lasting version of the DS4 hardware any time soon, instead they should do everything in their power to reduce the amount of battery that thing saps on the firmware side of things. Let us turn off the LED light altogether for one it's been pointless since the start, and disabling certain functions like the gyroscopes that are most likely constantly on wouldn't go amiss either. At the end of the day these requests for additional functions go from essential to luxurious, but when a console's own controller can't last even a quarter of an average game's length if you do decide to get stuck in - that's a huge problem in desperate need of rectifying one way or the other.
