Both consoles are trying to take over my entertainment center. Honestly, I'm a bit excited about this. However, I'm not exactly sure what kind of experience they expect us to accept.
I've looked around for answers to these questions and I either can't find an answer at all, or it's just a bunch of fanboy banter BS. Looking for clear answers. Rumors are acceptable, as long as they're represented as a rumor.
Here we go.
For both consoles:
1. Will we be able to use a mouse and keyboard with either of the consoles? I'm mainly worried about web browsing and other non-gaming tasks. However, if either one allowed this in games, that would be even better. I just don't really see the point of having a web enabled device without a keyboard.
2. Will either one have good support DLNA streaming? I rather enjoy having PLEX media server on my desktop and watching stuff on my TV through my Roku. I want this. I've heard PS3's is terribad.
3. Will Netflix support 1080p and surround sound?
4. Mobile device screen/interface augmentation - Are there any details on how SmartGlass and whatever Sony's offerings will work with the consoles? It looks like Microsoft has said that it can basically replace the on-screen TV-Guide and similar interfaces. What else? And what about Sony? Any news about Sony's client being developed/released for Windows 8 RT?
5. Stupid question, but it's just begging to be asked... What happens if we plug the PS4's HDMI into the Xbone's pass-through? Massive explosion, or will Microsoft somehow offer some integration, however hilarious that might be?
Thanks
