TECHi's Take
Oh, cruel fate! The PlayStation Camera – previously known as the PlayStation Eye – can’t be used to create a PlayStation Network profile picture for the next-gen PlayStation 4. Although having your real name displayed is happening, the only way to pull real-world photos of yourself for the profile pic is through Facebook integration. We speculate it has to do with Facebook’s anatomical detecting algorithms.
