Not even the same. Xbox One is a much better media box. Far more cohesive. Snap feature has never failed yet. I do want to try the PS4 browser though. On Xbox One VGChartz takes 4 secondes to load. On PS4 it must take like 1-2 seconds. The Xbox One browser is just as fast as my PC. One of the best browsers Ive ever used.

You don;t even know what you are talking about..Ps4 can multi-task between games and apps, and it is fast and responsive........ I can Switch to PS4's much faster browser on PS4 as well, maybe get your facts straight.

Ps4 has many mroe apps coming, they are already on psr with x1 in apps and more are coming.

The multi-yasking in X1 is not leagues better. it works fast and the same on PS4..Why do you need to watch TV and play a game at the same time?? Dumb waste of resources.

snap is a uselesss feature taking resources away from a consoles main purpose. I can already multi-task with PS4 and the Os is lightining fast. I can already watch cable.

Many people use PVR's today, making the x1's cable already useless. There are already better media devices on the market, so why buy an x1 for media?? There is already a superior gaming machine out and it's cheaper, that does all the media functions anyone will ever need.

ms is guilty of wasting resources and money on things people simply don't need or want. In this day where everyone has inter connected phones, tablet, devices, snap is a pointless resource hog. Voice can be done with a mic, and there are no games making kinect even desierable.. Meaning it is 100 more for voice that diesn't work all the time, or even replace something that can already be done more accuratlry.

Many apps don;'t even work well with snap and it's something I can do in 1 second os PS4 with a button press. The ps4 browser is 5 times faster then x1.....google it, the x1 browser is slow. Dem facts. They browsers were tested by numerous sites.

So far having now bought them both I have to say the PS4 UI is just horrific. It is so plain and boring. Sure what matters is the games but it would of been nice to have seen Sony do something a bit more flashy with it.

That's contrary to pretty much every review..The ps4 UI is outstanding, fast, responsive, everything is easy to find and just a click or two away. Well organized.

Couldn't disagree more. Firstly it is non customabale meaning my UI and yours looks exactly the same. There are no themes, no ways to change colours or move icons. It has just two rows with the first being user stuff i.e trophies, psn store and settings etc and the second being the apps and games. To say that is outstanding is just laughable considering what other devices UI's look like. It is fast and moves from one tile to the next very smooth. But when there is nothing there is that really a compliment? Take the Wii U or Xbox One UI. Those things look miles better and have a shit load more content/things to do as'well. 

In comparison to the 360, PS3, Xbox One and Wii U the PS4 interface IN MY OPINION is by far the worst looking. Like I said it is about the games but would have been nice if Sony did something different with it. Right now I would say even my Vita's UI looks more appealing.

Themes and clours have ZERO to do with useablity...and that will come later. Pretty much irrelevant. There is nothng wrong with the UI and most loved it AGAIN see reviews0 everything is easy to find and in a logical place, it also looks very nice. The drop down menu on each gam,e and area loioks outstanding. All info you need in 1 spot Agree to disagree.

Sorry bud but like you say will have to agree to disagree. In the era of smart technology i.e Phones, Tablets, advanced desktops, handheld consoles (3DS/Vita) which all enable you to custom how your home page looks then going to something that doesn't let you change anything is a step backwards. Especially when you consider you could change things and make it more personal on the PS3. The X1 is just as fast as the PS4 in regards to the interface and I can fully custom it to my liking. I honestly cannot see how you would think having less personalisation from the previous console = good because it moves faster. 

Based on potential, more exclusives, current specs of the machines PS4 has the edge over the XBox One. The launch games for both systems were disappointing, no real big exclusive games were launched on either system. The best games are multi-platform and they look better on the PS4.

So far: 8.2/10 for PS4 and 7.8/10 for XBox One are fair scores, on what has been delivered and what will be on offer in the future. XBox One has fewer exclusives games than the PS4, PS4 has superior graphics and processing power than the XBox One.

Microsoft has always had a better financial relationship with IGN, but IGN naturally gravitates to Sony because of their products.
