With the recent launch of the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One looming ahead, it would seem fitting to compare the entertainment apps both consoles have prepared at launch (or in the case of Microsoft, at the launch window), as these consoles do much more than simply play games. Keep in mind that the Xbox One apps have a window from the respective launch day in each country to spring 2014, so some apps may not be available at launch.
