What impact will the DUALSHOCK 4 controller’s integrated speaker have on gameplay?

DUALSHOCK 4′s integrated speaker lets inventive game developers immerse players more fully in the game world.

Has DUALSHOCK 4′s internal motion sensor been upgraded since DUALSHOCK 3?

I’ve heard that DUALSHOCK 4 features less “latency” than other controllers. What does this mean?

All wireless devices experience some form of latency, a tiny delay between, say, pushing a button and seeing an action performed onscreen. Thanks to new technology and hardware optimizations, the DUALSHOCK 4 controller’s wireless connectivity experiences less latency overall than the PS3′s DUALSHOCK 3 controller.
