Both systems have multitasking, except Xbox One allows snap on with some apps, however how important is snap on, save for Skype it seems rather pointless. Who would give a fuck about taking half the screen away to search a website, when you can pull out your smartphone instead. Basic multitasking is enough, how often has someone used similar snapon features on their phone, rather than using normal multitasking features. And yes the voice commands seem pointless, as PS4 OS demonstration shown it is easy to get to where you want, multitask and join games instantly. Kinect OS navigation seems rather pointless, again how often do people use Siri, save for being in odd situations like driving which wont happen on a console, even if you do find it useful was it worth the extra $100 to say Xbox On, something that insignificant should have been optional really. And i give you the HDMI in feature of the Xbox One, I guess thats one major media feature MS has over PS4.
Yea, I don't know why people just forget the Ps4 will have multitasking. Outside of the HDMI In TV overlay, and the snap feature, both consoles will have pretty identical multimedia features. So if you don't have a cable box (like me), the X1's extra features are kind of useless.
