Sony said they don’t want to simply copy paste PS3 features and that they must be done right.I wouldn’t mind the PS4 getting media playback but I rather have features that benefit gaming over the ability to watch a movie which I already have multiple devices that do just that already. Besides Sony isn’t Microsoft in which they just flip a switch.

In due time? Hasn’t it been due time by now? The system has been out for awhile and the lack of media support is a glaring oversight. Even if DLNA is omitted, AT LEAST give us the simple ability to play a mp4 file off a USB drive. The OS already can decode these files (it HAS to for Youtube, Netflix, Amazon Video, etc), so it’s an incredibly simple fix.

Also I get why people are still complaining about the PS4 lacking media features like DNLA support and playing movies/music off the HDD since these features work on the XB1 and PS3 but I’m sure they will come in due time. I rather they continue to focus on features that actually benefit games first like the already released Shareplay and these soon to be released features like 60FPS Shareplay and remote play, Suspend resume, and button mapping which is a huge feature that currently no console has. People forget the PS4 is a gaming machine first and media device second. Don’t get me wrong I think new media features are cool and will be a welcome additions whenever they arrive but I will gladly take features that actually improve gaming over media support.
