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.

LOL, Sony is a media company but a losing money one is relevant one how? They have been profitable for several quarters now and will continue to be , strawman argument, that has nothing to do with anything.

Times are not changing, MS reversal shows it. People buy consoles because of games first and foremost, this won't change.

Check the PS blog, Backwards compatibility is the most demanded feature, where is your proof it is the least? Simply false. GAmers always ask for backwards compatiblity.

The ps3 is more robust media device then the 360 and by a wide margin. The 360 has terrible support for file formats.

Kinect voice is not a reason to buy anx1, voice is a gimmick people don;t need. People already have cable from dozens of sources, and with xi you still need your existing cable, that's simply retarded. MS did a reversal and have not really mentioned these features for a reason.  Because they know people buy consoles for gaming period.

The x1 has zero of the ps4 andf is more expensive.

Need? You know we don't need most of the things we indulge in. Including video games. I'll take it as a plus with my Xbox 

Seriously! Thread locking doesn't happen enough around here IMO.

Ok well I'll continue to stay out of what doesn't interest me. Have fun. Thx for some Xbox news that I've seen you post tho

Sonys main media section, Sony pictures, isn`t the sector dragging the overall figures down, but that is besides the point, what bearing does profit margin have on the consoles feature set?

When the PS3 launched, it was touted as a media center, At the time Microsoft and Nintendo fans decried this and played it off as insignificant, not that the tables are turned Xbox One fans are talking it up and Sony fans are talking it down, times havent changed, excuses have.

Regardless of how big or small a number of consumers request something, if its added, its an additional feature to a hardwares list of benefits, theres no argument to be made here.

The most exciting aspect of media control with Kinect is voice commands, movement detection could and most likely would get old very fast, I know not a single person that still uses the original Kinect for anything other than the few Kinect games they actually own, as such voice commands add a personal touch to the navigation, fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your attitude, those who purchase the PlayStation 4 camera have the potential (and if its seen as a major thing once the Xbox One launches, you can bet your bottom dollar it will be added) to use voice control for navigation and media control too.
