I think it always relates to men penis size.

This test has really nothing to do with speed or the browsing experience but instead the supported features within HTML5. This is a good thing that the PS4 browser supports the features at this level.

As for the X1, if it is using the IE 11 or better it will support just as much features so this probably will be a wash no matter what numbers it post.

I believe the real deal is user experience. Typing in a URL with a pad is not something I want to experience on any console. I believe you can use a smartphone with the Apps from both companies but not sure if you can do that with the PS4 within their web browser. You can do this with the 360 so I believe support will be there for the X1. This comes in handy when you want to view stuff on your big screen instead of your phone or tablet.

At the end of the day, I believe these numbers mean nothing for the next gen consoles and it will come down to the experience of navigating the web that makes a difference. In this area, I can see Kinect Voice features making navigation a better experience if done right.

those 28 points are left behind dust because of the hugely improved interface. nothing beats the gamepad and the virtual keyboard. I can't go back to write messages with a d-pad


You can use a smartphone to enter any text field on the PS4.


that is my point, some people don;t have smartphones, especially people than doesn't have a job like people that are on college (around 21 or less). that is a big chunk of the gaming demographics. Besides, you need to drop the controller and look for your phone. i mean it is not that bad but comon, they gamepad is better than that. is that hard to admit?

Oh I agree that the Wii U browser experience is better. I was focusing on your d-pad comment.

Wow, It bearly even beats the wiiU and it had a 8 core cpu + 8gb of ram? Either the web browser on the wiiU is actually pretty good on this benchmark doesn't make sense


The browser isnt a proper indicator of ram usage.

Flash works? Do you need to install it? You tube videos won't work.
Or did you mean HTML5 games?

YouTube works with HTML5... you just need to enable it: http://www.youtube.com/html5

The PS4 browser is smooth as hell. In one of those twitch streams i saw someone testing it out. They even started playing flash games on it!!! You can play and do everything with it.

Great feature for gamers and porn lovers alike, not that there is a difference between the two :D

The PS3 scoring the lowest doesn't surprise me, that thing gives me headaches!


Could you use the touch pad like a trackpad?

Ahh, I'll try that on the ps4 tonight.
I guess not all video are supported, at least not in Firefox. I still get the flash player with a lot of videos, including my own.

I watched a vid of someone navigating youtube with the browser and youtube vids that worked were hit and miss, much like what I remember from the xbox 360.............

They could zoom 3x by clicking the trackpad. I don't remember if they tried navigating with it as well.
