2. Instant Streaming
OK, to be fair this choice was a given. Services such as Netflix and Hulu initially took off with their instant streaming capabilities on consoles such as The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, so its only natural that theyre going to prosper just as much if not more on the next generation of consoles. The notion that cable television is dying simply applies more than ever here. If Adult Swim is showing Family Guy and I dont feel appeased after one episode, Im going to jump on Netflix and burn through numerous episodes until Ive reached satisfaction. Furthermore, if Ive missed the latest episodes of Breaking Bad Im going to catch up with Hulu or watch entire seasons on Netflix, and at my own pace too. Theres also just an endless amount of movies to choose from on Netflix, Redbox Instant, and Sonys own on-demand offering. With services like these you dont even need games; theres always something interesting to watch!
