To use flash you need to buy licenses. Unnecessary money lost on an internet that is finally moving on to HTML5.

I stand by my original therory lol. Flash means free games and lots of them.

Well of course. Because there are LITERALLY not HTML5 games.

That's probably why their browsers didn't support it.... oh wait.

Still doesn't make your suggestion any more feasible.

Also Flash games are usually made for keyboard and mouse which translates badly to controllers, if at all.

There is NO other excuse. Licenses? Nope, I don't think so. MS has been paying for DVD,CD and now Blu-Ray. If you look at a launch PS3 box, the damn thing read like a book.

The fact that none of them...NONE, want to put something as standard and simple as Flash in their browsers, tells me all I need to know. I mean, for fucks sake.

Make a poll and see how many people play browser games on consoles. Nobody cares and neither do Sony or MS.

Not perfect but it does work.Kinda glitchy.

Support for html 5 Video seems more likely, but who knows. Most videos on youtube are available via HTML 5 too.

Edit: I'm surprised thats a thing, WiiU-browser supports Youtube very long time now (maybe even from the beginning, dunno). Wasn't aware thats a big problem to do.

PS4 does not support flash/DLNA. So unless you guys are using a work around(which do exist) it shouldnt be possible to watch youtube or anything flash related.

I do not own a PS4 yet, but my PS3, XBOX 360, PSP, VITA, XBOX ONE and even 3DS, they all have Youtube apps, what gives? The PS4 have no youtube apps? do you guys have netflix?
