The browser is horrible on PS3 and Vita but I do have a use for it, streaming live football through a website. Saves me linking my laptop to TV. For some reason the site I use to stream football works better on the PS3 than the PS4. On PS4 it freezes for a few seconds periodically every 30 seconds.
The Wii U one is Awesome!!!
The Touch Screen makes it really easy to type and navigate through the page. Plus you don't need to use the TV.
You can also make everyone watch a video on the TV, while you navigate just on the gamepad and get ready the next video or somethin else.
If anything. The browser is utilising the GamePad in such a good way than any other games.
Pocky Lover Boy!
| tak13 said: It seems that you trust a lot stat counter, it's a good tracker but not the best, (netmarkeshare is and you can search why) as for browsers don't take it as a gospel since it doesn't count unique users but number of visits... For instance 1 person opens 1000 pages on ps4, 2 people open 100 pages on xboxone... For stat counter ps4 wiil be far above xbox one with its methology, despite more users browing on xbox one actually... Not that I doubt that ps4 dominates the (home) consoles browser wars, is the 8th gen (home) console and currently, the console market, hot thing, with that huge installbase which is more than double of its two rivals, ergo way bigger pool of possible users... I just call into question the numbers! |
StatCounter doesn't try to count the install bases, the unique systems or the unique users! They want to give an overview, how much of the internet traffic origins from which platforms, which OS and form factors. And if one PS4 user opens 1000 pages per month and one XBO user opens only 100 pages per month... that's no "wrong" tracking, that's exactly what the want to show: the PS4 user uses the browser 10 times more often than the XBO user.
| tak13 said: By the way do we know if that tracker includes handheld consoles? I guess not , seeing the console sales by vendor tracking... It has sony at 66%, microsoft 25% and Nintendo at 7%...3DS is at almost 60m. However, even without the handheld consoles, tracking is still wrong... PS4 is at 35.9m (53%), xbox one at 18-19m (28%) and wii u at 12-13m (19%)! |
Again. They don't want to count and show the install bases, the unique systems or the unique users!
That's totally different data.
I use the ps4 browser to search trophies and game related things. Everything else my phone. Phones are just the best devices period.
I use the PS4 browser for help on how to get trophies, and it's good for that if you're in a hurry. But I rarely use.it for anything else since it freezes on several sites. I can say it's miles better than the PS3 browser. I'm better off using the laptop or my phone.
And still the PS4 is horrible.

The ps4 browser is decent enough when you're stuck, but it sucks it has to reload every time you switch back.
It also has the tendency to run out of memory. I guess 3GB is still not enough to display a couple of pages.
I currently have 17 pages open in FireFox, 846 MB in use. Why does the ps4 run out of memory...
Never tried PS4 browser before, give me seconds...
No.. Just no, i prefer PC.

I even sold off my PC and Smartphone last years as they had become redundent. Hope more and more people start moving from PC to consoles for web browsing. It is a much better experience, and much more convienent. |
How is browsing on a Playstation a much better and much more convenient experience than on PC? Just out of curiousity.

Maybe he uses a keyboard and mouse on his PS4? XD
Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
