PlayStation 4 will get MP3 and DLNA support in the future.

Sony was surprised by the amount of feedback from the gaming community, which it received after reporting that the new generation PlayStation 4 game console will not be able to offer MP3 playback support and DLNA function for wireless transmission. Seeing such a negative review in the direction of the company, the president of Sony Worldwide Studios Suhey Yoshida promised the fans that he would try his best to make the set-top box support for these two functions appear as part of future software updates.

When you read these lines, the PlayStation 4 will probably go on sale in the USA. Hearing the negative reviews of angry fans and potential buyers of their gaming console, Sony immediately announced that it would take into account all the suggestions and suggestions received.

In an interview with the game portal GiantBomb, Suchea Yoshida shared that such a stormy response was a real surprise to the Sony development team.

“The biggest surprise for Sony was that there were so many people in the world who were passionate about the announcement that the PlayStation 4 would not receive MP3 and DLNA support on the very first day of the console sales. We constantly emphasized that the main focus for us in the new gaming console is its gaming functions. However, some aspects that can not be present in the console at the time of its release - and especially the case for some games that will be released a little later than we wanted - can really upset the players, ”says Yoshida.

“I confess that we really didn’t think about supporting MP3 and DLNA. This was not our key task. However, we in any case were going to introduce support for these functions. As a result, we have driven ourselves into a corner. In fact, very few were upset that the console would not receive support for these features as part of the release. True, there were those people who were very angry about such news. Some even wrote that they canceled their pre-orders for the console. ”

Yoshida confirmed that he is currently discussing with the development team of the console the possibility of implementing support for MP3 and DLNA in one of the following software updates. But unfortunately, Mr. Yoshida did not specify any specific time frame when such an update may appear. Now the company is closely involved in the release of the console in the United States and the preparation of the console release in Europe, which will be held on November 29.
