I'm sorry but you're factually wrong, the Ps3 was widely known to be vastkly superior with media, it had bluray, but even more so, MKV, AVHCD fils and format support was way better on PS3. A quick trip to the AV forums site, and say the 360 is a better media box..you will get laughed off the forums.

sony is a media company, you know they own movie and TV studios right? Ps3 was a way better media box the 36-0, yet xbox fans act like Sony is just a game machine? sony started the console is also a media device and a game machine. Newsflash, most people buy coonsoles for games and nothing more. period. Sony markets this, realising the other features will be there, but the most sales will come from gamers.

How do you knwo owners will spend more time on their x1's then ps4? Whats next week lotto numbers? Nothing but baseless speculation.

please keep acting like x1 is the only box that does more then gaming, it's funny and sad.

Still waiting for all these "FEATURES" it has over the PS4.

Backwards compatibility is important, it is the most requested feature of next gen consoles. For those making the jump for 360, it is a  huge selling point. You're saying it's not because MS doesn't have it period.

Why would you need 24 remotes and 20 devices with PS4 ROFL? X1 isn't going to control everything in your houe, just cable box, thats it , 1 remote.....which is a useless feature. people already have more then too many cable options, the x1 isn't replacing that, you still need your regular cable. Idiotic decision by MS to even try to market it. Wonder why they don't anymore? Even they know it was a msitake, thus their drastic change in focus.

Your trying too hard to justify yourself. Sony is a media company, but a money-losing media company. There is a difference. Xbox media capabilities are no slouch, and in terms of media apps, it is more robust then what PS offers.

"Newsflash, most people buy coonsoles for games and nothing more. period"

Ok grandpa. Times are changing. People want consoles that do more then just games. Period. Your percieved golden days of games-only consoles are dead. Deal with it.

"Backwards compatibility is important, it is the most requested feature of next gen consoles."

Don't know where this comes from but every generation statistics are released that show it is actually the least requested feature, that only the vocal minority moan and whine about it.

These "features" come from Kinect. For gaming its usefulness remains to be seen but for media control, content searching, and friend connectivity, it sets it apart from PS.
