Meanwhile, the designers of the PlayStation 4 console that records and designing it, feature by feature, trying to overcome the failure of its predecessor. PS3 is very hard to program for, thanks to an exclusive silicone. So PS4 built to be friendly-developer, with a familiar, PC-like architecture. PS3 was announced by strange, boomerang-shaped controller, and launched with the Sixaxis controller rumble free before settling into ever-larger DualShock 3 controller. So PS4 is equipped with the DualShock 4, inarguably the best controller ever made Sony. And PS3 launched at a high price point that is not normal, it costs $ 200 more than the competition. So PS4 carries a price much more aggressively, asking for $ 100 less than the competition this time.
While Sony in 2006 focused on driving adoption of Blu-ray standard, imagine another media house boom that never quite materialized, Sony in 2013 did not have the disorder. PS4 is not built to sell 3D TV, or Blu-ray discs or other company mandates. This is a game console, a clear message that Sony has been quick to repeat.
Focus resulted in a console are better positioned than the PlayStation 3 in 2006 to compete in the expanding turf war for the living room. But it's the same focus has also made Sony took the kind of opportunities that make generational leaps so interesting.

Hardware & Design
Sony PS4 is the most interesting piece of hardware designed. It's a beautiful system, with, profile slightly tilted sharply accented by a light bar that acts as an indicator of the status of the console.
At the rear, the PS4 has been digital-only with port HDMI / optical, and there is no audio or video analog output. We appreciate the internal power supply - it sounds like a small thing, but it's one less object to sit on a shelf next to or behind the PlayStation 4.
In the bad column, the collection of moderate to minor annoyances. PS4 not support the new 802.11ac wireless standard, instead of relying on 802.11b / g / n radio at 2.4 GHz - no support 5 GHz here is good, all that is disappointing to see the consumer devices in 2013. More disturbing a lot on the staff, PS4 does not include an IR port for universal remote, also do not support Logitech Harmony PlayStation 3 Bluetooth adapter or Bluetooth PS3 Blu-ray remote. This omission appears to signal the abandonment of Sony aspirations media that drove a lot of the basic design of the PS3.
Players who want their personal game consoles may temporarily upset the lack of audio support for Bluetooth headphones for the PS4 at launch.

Controller
DualShock 4
We can say this unequivocally: The DualShock 4 is the best controller ever made Sony.
Now that the PlayStation 4 and the generation of new consoles on us, a contingent of the editorial staff of this Polygon feel free to finally acknowledge the deep, unbridled hatred of the DualShock 3. stick too close together, too slick; triggers do not trigger; those of us with larger hands have difficulty using the controller for a long time.
DualShock 4
Sony has solved every one of these problems with the DualShock 4. Its sticks are farther apart, with semi-concave pits in the middle designed to hold the tips of your thumbs in place. The shoulders feature actual concave triggers with pull similar to an Xbox 360 controller.The controller is just a little heavier, just a little bigger. It's much more comfortable to hold over long periods of time. Making even die-hard DualShock 3 haters on the Polygon staff converts, the DualShock 4 is the most immediately apparent improvement offered by the PS4.
The DualShock 4 is the best controller Sony has ever made.
There are several small touches that, as with the console
itself, underscore a sense of general hardware quality and polish. The
DualShock 4's front-facing light glows blue for the primary connected
player and changes colors based on the order in which it's synced to the
console. Games can also take over the light and change its color, but
the most practical use is the amber glow the DualShock 4 emits while
it's charging.While Sony has seemingly done nothing to expose or surface it, the DualShock 4 also introduces refined gyroscopic and accelerometer-based motion control. It's an incredible improvement from the Sixaxis and the DualShock 3.

User Interface and Experience
At first glance, it might seem that the PS4's user interface shares many similarities with the PlayStation 3's "XrossMediaBar" interface, a familiar sight for owner 2006 Sony television era. PS4 but the interface is more similar to television when Sony and to use, clear evolution XMB clear. It maintains the speed of its predecessor, while adding flexibility XMB rigid hierarchy was never allowed.
improvements
Little things stand out. You can Temporarily suspend a game at any time by hitting the PlayStation button and, say, change your display or audio settings without quitting the game in question. After seven or eight years of the Xbox 360 and PS3, PS4's navigating the menus and UI quickly intervening intervening and with little lag is one of the more refreshing elements of the next-gen console experience.
One major, appreciated change: the bifurcated User / PSN ID system of the PS3 is gone. You can now skip the PS3's user ID / PSN ID association process and directly download your profile onto the PS4. The PS4 Also supports greatly improved user switching, and its feature guest Temporarily Allows you to download a PSN profile onto a friend's PS4 and delete it when logged out. Other small touches delight - like double-tapping the PlayStation button to toggle between active apps and games.
