I completely agree with some of the things you said but you failed to realize when Sony first came out with the ps3[2006], Multimedia and streaming  was not as big as it is today. Even cell phones are now smart phones..Many people never realy cared so much for that stuff. As the everything changes over the years, it is very much looking that an All in one device is the way to go for many people. This is 2014, not 2006. Yes, ps4 is more powerful than x1. X1 intergrate the multimedia features better than Sony's ps4 [at least to me].   Could it be that people are making a big deal of the whole tv thing on x1 because it's Microsoft? would they have had the same backlash if it was sony? something to think about O_o

I realize that it's not 2006 anymore, and if the PS4 had all those features, resulting in a higher price, like I said before, I would still say "PS4 has all this, that's why it's worth it". Problem being, I haven't been saying the exact opposite for the last 8 years. 360 being the cheapest console to get games/extra features don't matter was a talking point literally up til the XBone reveal when Kinect being bundled with the console and all the TV stuff was announced. Now "justified price" matters to Xbox fans and I'm led to believe that it is just because MS is doing it. I never said that the extra stuff doesn't make the XBone worth its value. But for a [general] group of people for 8 years to say extra stuff doesn't matter, only games, and then end up with an expensive console with extra stuff...all of a sudden it's cool to have extra stuff. I'm just calling out the hypocrisy.

Weren't ps owners praising and bragging that ps3 had bluray and could do more multimedia than xbox 360? Now Ms is trying to up their multimedia features, now it's a problem to ps owners? See the hypocrisy ?
