Off the top of my head, my daily uses (I was primarily a PC gamer)

Stable and very fluid UI, haven't had any problems with apps and game crashing
Resume game instantly where you left off from rest mode
Charging controller in rest mode
Bored? Watch other ppl game streams
Started messing with share button and uploading vids to Youtube, simple and works pretty good
Play music off USB while gaming
Netflix streaming
PS+ cheap enough, game selection is so so recently. But usually decent every month.
Game saves on cloud? Haven't had to use it yet
I would recommend a bigger hd, half of my games are digital dls and its just enough
Oh and exclusives, I also prefer sitting back with the controller eg. GTA V. I play everything on it except FPS, which obviously is best with a kb+mouse

The Xbox One and PS4 are current gen.

With a gpu on par with a radeon 6670 and even worse CPU? If you say so brother.

pro: you now own a PS4

con: you're now missing a PS4's worth of money in your bank account

My only regret is that I didn't upgrade the hard drive when I bought it. 500gigs turns out to not be much, and there's no way to back up game downloads. So I want to upgrade it but I also don't want to have to redownload and install all of my games and updates. Bah

They should allocate some space on the cloud for saves for just this purpose.
