IGN – Both Sony and Microsoft have had a series of patents come out in the last week or so, and one of them would potentially bring NFC payments to the PlayStation 6.

Sony filed a patent called "video game controller-driven information transfer," which describes a controller with NFC capabilities that would let you tap your phone or your credit card to your controller to send information to your console. The most obvious use for this would be for payment, but it would also let you more easily import your PlayStation account to a new console.
