I was going to mention Joycon but Hynad beat me to it. Also, it's not just that. It's the interface. I actually liked how PS3 worked (though Wii was easier). Things got overly complicated in my opinion with the jump to PS4. I think Nintendo will keep it simple--but I just don't know.

 

I never liked Xbox's cumbersome setup but, for whatever reason, they work on more sites.

You know, it took me until last year to figure out you can simply swap between a browser page and current game by double tapping the ps button. That makes it so much easier when you're stuck. A bit too easy maybe...

I hated the ps3 browser, 75% chance it would crash or lock up the console every time I used it. Dragging the pointer over a page was agonizingly slow as well. The ps4 browser is miles better, although still doesn't support a whole lot. It also crashes occasionally though never to the point I need to pull the power cord to reset the console as with the ps3.

I wonder why the ps4 never got patched to use the DS4's track pad in the browser. Or maybe it does and it's another feature I haven't found yet :s I guess not

That's the worst thing about console browsers. They get outdated fast, even with updates. I had similar experiences later on.

 

Ouya has track pad support. It's pretty horrible. Maybe Sony could do it right.
