Why don't they just develop their own OS based around the hardware? They started the PS4 in 2007 wasn't it?

Sony sucks at software if that wasn't apparant. XMB is a great simple OS for TV's, but once on PSP and PS3, it got too crowded, slow, and irrititating.

From what I've heard the Vita OS is fantastic.

Yes, its true and the PS4 interface on this FreeBSD OS going to be even better. I think Sony is foucsing better this time with OS rather than sticking to simple.

 

The XMB was also based on freebsd but it was simple *and* had big memory footprint so it has to get better.

Memory was the reason for Sony to go with Simple one in PS3 but this time they have more than enough memory and good teams all over the world who is participating in every aspect of Game hardware so this time its going to so much better OS with Interface in PS4 which we already saw in some videos doing great.
