Yeah it kinda has to. They just don't want us to use it.
Focusing on games is great and all, but Sony really needs to realize that they aren't a midsize corporation. They should be able to focus on games while still working on firmware; these two concepts are NOT mutually exclusive. If they suddenly started giving monthly firmware updates, it's not like gamers will suddenly complain that they are losing their gaming focus.
The current, common perception is that, while the Xbone doesn't play games at a higher graphical fidelity, it has the better AAA exclusives. That's a gaming focus plus firmware updates every month. Those firmware updates won't sell a console on their own, but they sure are a nice bonus to sway a person who's sitting on the fence.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
Ehm, users cannot pause or resume downloads. That's what people are clamoring for.
Sounds like all they need is to put someone on it for like, one hour. Not emphasizing.
he means the console is capable of cutting downloads and resuming them, it's just you don't have the command.

I didn't even know there was a version of Xbox Studio available for One. Or maybe I had forgotten about it. (*edit : maybe not : the marketplace says it's available since last week).
Remote installed.
Ah cool. Thanks for that - I had no idea it already existed. I wonder if anyone else has taken ownership of it since Jeff left, since the "ideas in action" count is currently at zero it might be abandoned.
To deal with? You do know that is one of the very reasons MS has such fast iteration with XB1 right? Sony does need to step-up i agree but XB1's OS setup is not a hindrance.
Cheers for this dude, some interesting things going on there. Hope this means that the controller info no longer covers the clock. The featured content stuff sounds interesting, but it depends what Sony thinks is featured content. Their opinions and ours sometimes vary.
A misunderstanding on my part. Either way, I envy what MS continues to do with the XB1 OSs.

Yes, I'm certainly shocked that Sony can't outclass Microsoft when it comes to software development, and OS's in particular. Truly shocked, I tell you.

Does anyone know why my PS4 keeps downloading these updates but not actually installing them? There's no reason for the console to download it and just let it sit there unless I explicitly sit down and tell it to install the update. Why can't it just install right after downloading?
Because every firmware requires you to sign a new TOS. In case anything goes wrong, or features are removed. That is not something you want to come home to.
Well Microsoft is a company built on the foundation of software...
Still no excuse for Sony, they're terrible at this.
Several times my download hasn't restarted if I didn't connect to the network the next time,so yes I would appreciate the blessing of pausing/resuming downloads on my end

Is there a list of 3d games on playstation 4 ?
Games that support 3D that I know are Trine 2 and Sniper Elite 3. What else ?

The 3 OS's is an advantage MS has to deal with.
And MS was built on software. It's not surprising the XB1's UI is better designed as far as connecting everything together seamlessly and features. It doesn't matter that Sony should be experienced with it by now. They will never match MS. They've been doing this for a long time.
Those are probably the only ones. 3D game support seems to have almost completely died off. It's not even in AC4 and AC3 had it.

Yeah it's weird. Black Ops 2 had it, but Ghosts doesn't. MK had it, but Injustice doesn't. It makes me sad.

3D will come back when a larger percentage of game console owners have 3D TVs or VR goggles which at a minimum support 3D.
Netflix only has about 56+ 3D titles. Comcast has ONE 3D channel with very limited programming. YouTube and several IPTV sites support 3D programming.
ATSC 2.0 coming on line now supports OTA 3D and so will ATSC 3.0 in about 5 years but I don't know of any Stations that are broadcasting 1080P on the subchannels YET much less 3D. PS3 Playstation Memories and Studio support 3D pictures and one supports picture viewing on a 4K TV with 30Hz HDMI port. My $149 Sony camera supports 1080P video and 3D pictures.https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32662/c/65 said:
Sony Patents continue to mention 3D support so it's not dead just not accepted by consumers as mainstream (headache, nausea and the inconvenience in having to use glasses)
DLNA CVP3 certified platforms support 3D and a DLNA CVP2 Certified Smart TV is also a ATSC 2.0 TV. With a Network tuner or DLNA server with tuners, Certified DLNA CVP2 STBs and game consoles can support ATSC 2.0.
If it bothers you that much and you really like the XB1's UI design and features, don't let console wars get in the way. Buy the console. No need to continue to be frustrated with PS4. Nothing is going to change much with Sony. MS will always be ahead. Imo anyway.
I like the XB1's software design too but it has absolutely nothing I want to play. I might just buy it to use the media apps.
