Man, I constantly surprised by how much people take PR to be fact.

The only thing that the XB1 has over the PS4 in terms of Media Features is the HDMI In.

Not really, you can control your entire living room with Kinect voice commands due to the IR Blaster. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but the PS4 only has voice commands if you pay extra for the camera or wear a headset (which isn't the most practical thing), and even then it has no IR blaster as far as I know. 

Oh yeah, IR Blaster forgot about that, but even then Blue Tooth remotes are common nowadays. Everything else can be done in software, but seeing as nobody is really asking for it a lot of those media features are low priority for PS4.

Every PS4 comes with a headset ergo every PS4 can use voice commands. Furthermore, it works with any headset and it ensures that commands are coming from the person wearing the headset and not ambient noise or sound coming from speakers. Thus its arguably more practical then commands picked up with a camera.
