A few days ago I recently
published an article that pitted the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One against each other in a one on one gladiatorial like battle, all in an effort to informatively help readers choose which next generation console suits their personal preferences. The article sparked some constructive discussion and some discussion not so constructive- but boiled down to me talking up the finer aspects of both consoles. Make no mistake about it, I am enjoying both my PlayStation 4 and Xbox One extensively, but that does not mean they are perfect products shielded from criticism. And so, my goal today is to bring to light the more baffling omitted features that you would think expensive gaming devices in 2013 would be available to perform out of the gate. In some cases, the features exist in the OS but just function unacceptably poor. Before getting started, I have no doubts that a majority of this stuff will be fixed over time, possibly within the next year, but there are some points of contention here that will be met with a resounding question mark. Hopefully, Sony and Microsoft are paying attention to some tweaks their loyal fanbases are pleading for.
