9. Friends And Social Media Integration
You also have more in-depth notification options for how friend requests, messages, and simply viewing your friends list operates across both consoles. Name requests however are a neat feature exclusively to the Playstation 4, allowing you to display your real identity and Facebook profile picture alongside your online handle. The Friends hub on Playstation 4 is essentially Facebook, but stripped of all the annoying clutter and nonsense. You can also now have up to 2,000 friends across any individual Playstation Network account, which is fantastic news. Personally speaking, Im already at 118 and still trucking along friending fellow gamers. If you enjoy reading my content then shoot me a friend request at Solid_Fantasy, I certainly would be grateful to accept considering its so robust and simple. Microsoft however didnt really expand on anything, which is completely baffling because legions of gamers have been vocal about both consoles original 100 person limit they were confined to on both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. The Xbox One just has a new Followers tab which essentially imitates Twitter in hackneyed fashion. They did implement Skype though which works well enough. Sony definitely wins this round overall though.
