I wish they used the resources of these extra apps into gaming.


They don't have enough games already?


You misunderstood my point. By resources I meant ram and processing power of the console. The more is allowed for gaming the better.

Why xbox one is so much more than ps4. Not only are the graphics equal ( they are and will remain so for whole generatio ) but xbox one completely is designed for much more than raw power. Thiz is not xbox 360 part 2. Itz true next gen.

Cant wait for forza 5!!!!!!! €

Absolutely useless feature to me ofcourse.


And if it was announced for the PS4, fanboys will say something like Sony is the future.  Not saying you're a Sony fanboy.

I see that your still obssessed with a certain group around here. Hahahaha (Like I said I'm a PC gamer was that a lame flamebait for me to follow into ? If it was that was pathetic.)

Fanboys will show different attitudes to corporation that don't care about them including the nintendo and xbox base. #Dealwithit

Once again not interested in this feature. 


Follow into what?  I was just saying something I know is true.  You made yourself look pathetic from a response.  PC gamer, right.

So I can switch between playing games and porn? This is a truly a system made for the gamer in mind


No need to switch. Just snap the porn next to the game and enjoy both at the same time.

If that's the case, I'm glad to see you wasted your time and ours with this absolutely useless post, of course :)

Honestly, so what? I remember Miyamoto once making a comment pre-Gamecube launch that the GC was powerful enough that it could run 4 N64 games at the same time. That's neat. But functionally pointless.

What do I care if I can run a bunch of apps in the background? The system is overpriced and still has most of the same issues it had before MS pulled a 180 on some of their new policies.

Bottom line is, features are neat, but Show Me the Games.

It's important because it means you can have Skype running, any source of music running, a browser running, and the video capture running at the same time that you're playing a game.

Why would I want all those running at once?

Skype - To chat with friends while I'm playing a game.
A music program - To listen to tunes while I'm playing a game.
A web browser - To cheat.
Video capturing - To record my game.
