Vita does 3 of those at once too, im pretty sure ps4 will do those 4 examples at once as well, i don tthink thats a great example for this xbox one feature tho, id expect to be able to listen to my own music and chat in a game without taking up any of the app slots, and im sure it probably can. 

lulz, you can try and brand ps4 as subpar all you want but feature by feature by feature ps4 does everything xbone does. multi-user login, facial recognition, voice controls, cloud saves, 2x the friend limit, game video capture, smartphone/tablet interaction, remote game purchase/downloads, low power state mode,  cross game chat, video chat, video mesaging...   but then ps4's cloud also will allow backwards compatibility and psvita allows for remote play.   so if ps4 is 360 part 2 then xbone is 360 part 1.9..

Was I comparing the Xbox One to anything?  I said what the Xbox One could do. 

With the Xbox One you could actually listen to any supported music application.  So if Last.FM, Spotify, Clear Channel Radio, Music Unlimited, iTunes, or any other music app offers a Windows 8.1 compatible application that is also designed to work on the Xbox One, then you'll be able to listen to it.  So, for instance, an app that I wrote so I could listen to my local radio station, I could rewrite it so that it worked in Windows 8.1 & Xbox One, then publish it to the store so anyone could buy it. 

Unlike with the Xbox 360, the user isn't limited to a predefined set of applications that he or she can use while gaming.  Any web-based or support application can be running in the background while you game.

The PS4 has been ringed as the PS3 2.0, because essentially Sony has tried to remain on par with the features of the previous generation and not try to do something different this generation.  I think everyone can agree that the Cell was an expensive attempt to do something radically different.

Selnor is saying that the Xbox One is not attempting to be the Xbox 360 2.0.  That is the point you blindly missed.  In fact, this point should be abundantly clear to everyone.  Because the whole reason for Microsoft naming it the Xbox One was to suggest not only that is it the only console you would need, but more to the point of this discussion, that it was a reboot of the console.

nope it simply doesn't.... or should I say yes it does, like my grandma TV set up can dispay TV and play movies or her VHS CRT combo but next to my set up it's just not the same, even though she can enjoy the same content and options pretty much... so you ca keep telling yourself PS4 does th same.. yeah true, just in an way inferior way.... it has more power though.. andBC lol yeah  poor paying quality one when I already have the current gen it i complete non selling point to erly adopters...you have no BC yu just have access to the old library through streaming at a price for sub parquality.... and most of the rest is not available out f the box... but we all kno you think XBoss is inferior on every point and PS is superior... it's your own right after all

lulz and a half this time.  you blindly missed the point.  how can type cast xbone as innovative and ps4 as evolultionary when they feature identical? 

you can't. 

oh wait, now i get it.  xbone is innovative because they named it "the one".  damn.  how could i not see that...

The PS4 doesn't have an HDMI input.

The PS Camera won't work as an IR Blaster, allowing the PS4 control ANY device in the room.

The PS4 doesn't have the ability to integrate with a TV/Satellite/Cable box to provide program guide for LIVE TV.

The PS4 doesn't currently have the ability to allow users to navigate and operate the system reliably using voice commands.

The PS4 doesn't currently have the ability to allow users to navigate and operate the console using a gesture interface.

The PS4 doesn't have the ability to accurately detect an individual based on voice alone or body type.

The PS4 cannot measure your heart rate, nor can it even detect you sweating.

The PS4 doesn't have the ability to used as a video telecommunications device.

The PS4 doesn't have the ability to wirelessly connect with home automation equipement.

The PS4 can't be used to connect other wireless devices within the household to the Internet.

The PS4 doesn't have the ability to support Wi-FI Displays or Miracast.

The PS4 doesn't have the ability to support up to 8 wireless controllers.

There are likely a few other innovations that'll eventually be coming to the console as well.

If it isn't a day one feature, the Xbox One will likely feature the ability to "throw" a Skype conversation from the console to another device such as a tablet or smartphone, or from a tablet or phone to the console.

Innovative for a home console.
