The PlayStation 4 is Sony's fourth home console. It infamously performed better on the market than the Xbox One, in part due to Microsoft fumbling the bag with the system's launch.

Remote Web Inspector

The PS4 appears to have a hidden remote web inspector in system/common/lib/remote-web-inspector. It appears to do what it says on the tin, with a target IP address, port, tab and frontend URL.

Revisional Differences

In September 2016, with firmware version 4.00, the user interface was given a redesign, which includes new backgrounds, redesigned icons, smaller popup notifications, and a revised What's New tab. The 4.00 update also added support for folders in the home menu and Library.

Regional Differences

The Japanese version of the PS4 contains a system setting that allows the user to choose use the X button to confirm as opposed to the Circle button. This was added in firmware version 6.50.
