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.

It barely enhances the experience, nothing that can't be done already in a different way.  I'm not even looking at it as something that doesn't enhance my vision of core gaming, I'm looking at something that realistically barely enhances my media experience.  

me and most of the people that I know that are home theatre enthusiaste have spent more money over a decade on remotes IR blaster tech and all than an XB1 cost..... so yeah it is a big deal for that small demographic.... that and CEC HDMI... is a big deal.... it could mean hundreds of dollars saved over several years....
