Thanks for clarifying.

While nothing you said was wrong (to my knowledge), I can say "Xbox Turn Off" and it will turn off but it's still in a low powered stated, much like a TV or something when you turn it off.  It's when you turn it 100% off (aka not in standby) that the game will reset.  Pretty much what you said but I haven't turned any console totally off since the 6th gen.  Even my Vita is on right now!

No doubt the PS4 will have this feature, maybe even a better version, sooner or later.

That is very nice. It is great on the Vita as well, I never turn it off since the energy consumption in standby is insignificant. Xbox implementation seem to be the same so that is also nice. Who knows when will the PS4 get it, Sony OS team seem to be pretty slow.

Though keep in mind that the standby energy consumption on the home consoles is actually quite significant. I'd only use it when I actually need it due to environmental concerns. 

i'm pretty sure the PS4 does have standby? If mine is turned off how could my vita wirelessly turn it on if it wasn't in standby? 

Yes it has standby, in my second paragraph I said that the energy consumption of the home consoles is significant in standby mode. What it doesn't have is suspend & resume that is available on both the Vita and the Xbox One. It can do standby but it cannot do suspend & resume.  

so playing a game and you pause it, put it in standby and then boot it up later and resume the game? I think I get you
