How Does Sony's PlayStation 4 Stack Up Against the New Apple TV?

Sony's PlayStation 4 is first and foremost a device for playing video games, yet it offers many multimedia features. Its disc drive can work as a Blu-Ray player. It supports most of the popular Internet streaming services as well. As a smart TV solution, the PlayStation 4 is overkill, but with the new remote, it's perfectly capable of offering a cohesive living room experience.

Sony's video game consoles played a key role in establishing the market for streaming video, and remain important to its success. As recently as the first-quarter of 2014, Parks Associates found that in the U.S., video game consoles were the most commonly used devices for streaming Internet video, beating out dedicated set-top boxes by a margin of more than 3-to-1.
