10 Crucial PS4 Features Sony Must Implement In 2015

4. Dashboard Navigation And Sorting

So far the whopping great touchpad at the centre of the controller hasn't been used for anything remotely worthwhile, with most developers instead mapping it to, well, a map, or having both halves of it represent what used to be 'Start' and 'Select' buttons. The PS4's dashboard needs a shakeup, and a much bigger one than the last edition that saw Sony simply extend that long list of recently-accessed tiles that are just plain bad to sift through. What we need is the option to put titles in folders, as well as 'pinning' certain games to a front-end menu, as oppose to this weird take on the PS3's XMB where everything is doubled up. Add in support for the touchpad to provide laptop-style shortcuts depending on which of its four corners you're pressing down, and that takes care of having instant-access to things like settings or hard drive maintenance.
