The PS4 takes the pure gaming machine thing way too far

2013-11-15 23:19:47| Extremetech

The PlayStation 4, which is released today, is an odd proposition. On the one hand, it only costs $400 -- but on the other, you really don't get a whole lot for your money. The launch games for the PS4 are a mixed bag and really not strong enough to justify the $400 price tag. What really irks me, however, is that Sony went so far with the "pure gaming machine" thing that it removed some very useful, non-gaming features, such as local and LAN media playback. With the PS4, you basically have the choice of playing games, downloading content from PSN, or streaming content from Netflix or Hulu -- and that's it.
