"Yet we can’t help but feel that it can stand to improve a bit. Don’t get us wrong — the PS4 is the most feature-complete machine Sony has produced out of the gate, and we’re very happy with it overall. Now that we’ve been hands-on with its bevy of next-gen features, though, there are a few ways that the experience can be streamlined." - Joe Garcia
Rocket League’s tenth anniversary update will be split into three parts, bringing new limited-time game modes and rewards to claim.
Epic Games announced that the next Fortnite update will bring Blitz Royale. This is a fast-paced mode that supports up to 32 players per lobby.
Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida claims PlayStation still believes Xbox is their only true competitor, not Nintendo.
True, they have pretty different audiences..and some People just have both at home or a PS and a PC that emulates more or less everything from Nintendo.
Xbox hasn't been a competitor since the XB360. Last generation and this generation Sony has been running circles around Xbox. As for Sony vs Nintendo Sony runs circles yes but I don't really see Nintendo as competition. Nintendo does their own thing and it works.

I think it's all PS fans have left at this point. Console wars were always a competition for fourth place behind Nintendo, PC and mobile. If Xbox evaporates into a hybrid virtual platform, then PS will be perennially left in last place.
Strange, I recall all those FCC documents and witness testimonies saying the exact opposite... Guess Microsoft doesn't know what it's talking about?
microsoft wanted to crush sony into dust and they had the money to do it, but with such weak leadership it was always going to fail
Had the money? They still have the money but the industry has changed since xbox 360. Microsoft is the number one publisher in gaming. I'd hardly call that failing.
The industry hasn't changed though, just ms, Microsoft was the no1 publisher for a month in december 2024, the actual no1 for fy2024 was tencent if game sales are all that's being counted.
Money doesn't mean you'll be successful large corporations have entered and failed before like Nec
Some good suggestions. The PS Button jumping right to the context is a great one.
My #1 is DLNA support. If it is going to be at the center of my living room it needs this.
Pausing downloads. It is actually quite absurd that we can't do it today.
I'm still really happy with my ps4, gimme 6 months then it'll probably bug me... Right now it's a parallelogram angel lol
Since they added in the social features of this console I would definitely like to have to ability to create list/filters for the friends list so I can adjust what information is shared and not shared within each group.
The second thing I would like to see is the ability to change PSN names for perhaps a $20 fee and a limit of once per year. I imagine this would be difficult for them to implement if their databases across their SEN servers aren't setup correctly for it. (if you have ever setup a database for an online game you probably have a general idea on what kind of problems could arise)
Well those improvements won't happen until the Xbox One comes out, because Sony needs to see what they are doing first. They will need to try and copy all of Xbox Live service, because Sony is a me too company. Just look at the history of the Sony Playstation (1,2,3,4) All systems have copied something from another console and tried to claimed it was better as if they did it first. PS4 Xmb is not that great, its not even better than Xbox 360 menu. I love all of the fanboys hating Xbox One when it has the balls to try new things. Thats what next gen is (new features!) Not a ps3 graphics card update (Yes it is) The greatest thing on the PS4 is that you can play games remote play on the Vita. Honestly, my PS4 is great, it holds me over until the Xbox One arrives, lol (Hit disagree if you love the Xbox One!)
