It's one thing to have a preference, but that doesn't seem to be what Multimedialover has.  PS4 has multimedia player features too.  There isn't much that One can do that PS4 won't.  So I'm not sure what you are using as a basis.  

I agree that the PS4 has a lot of features that Sony hasn't pushed in their messaging.  But it doesn't have HDMI throughput and it doesn't have IR blasters for systems control.  That's part of the difference between having a Kinect and not having the PSeye as standard changes.  Not having HDMI in is a MAJOR difference on the Multimedia experience.

I don't see it being able to do anything, just a tiny convenience.  All it would be doing is getting input and able to output onto Television while doing other things.  But I don't see that as being a game changer.  Convenience, definitely.  But not something that unquestionably improves experience.  The IR blasters though, could be added, in fact that's what the other user thought this meant.  That it was a separate thing.  Some remotes already do something similar.  So, it's great if you have a preference, but it's no reason to knock what the PS4 is doing.  

What you are saying is exactly my point.  Most of the M$/XBOXOne haters seem to only acknowledge features that they want for themselves(somewhat understandable), but find a way to totally dismiss any feature that doesn't enhance their vision of core gaming.  The features that I mention do only directly impact a smaller portion of the buyers TODAY.  The Home Theatre area is an exploding market and will impact system sales and uses much more every year going forward.
