8 Reasons PS4 Owners Are Jealous Of The Xbox One

3. A Multi-App Switch You Can Follow

The PS4's app-switching is something it feels like only gets discussed behind closed doors. Where the Xbox One sold itself on the ease of multi-tasking and hopping between one program to the next, the PS4's double-tap doesn't only feel unresponsive, but almost always takes you back to the thing you don't want, thanks to the system never telling you what it deems to be an app worth remembering.

Microsoft's implementation is to either let you double tap and select 'Snap' to place what you're doing on the side until you want to recall it, or to simply let you go back through everything you opened one by one, by pressing B.

You can break this chain by hitting the home button and starting another thread of apps from there, otherwise it's very easy to jump around everything to hand with a combination of the two buttons.
