7 Things PS4 Could Learn from Xbox One

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Server Security

Sony is doing well these days, but it wasn’t so long ago that their servers got hacked pretty badly. In fact, this hack is one of the 10 biggest fails in PlayStation history. They’ve tightened up the security now, but more scrutiny could be given to the service, especially where the excellent Share Play is concerned.

Too many vulnerable people, mainly children, seem to fall prey to people jumping on their accounts and deleting or messing with their stuff. Child safety restrictions can only do so much and people will always do dumb things, so there’s not a lot of room for Sony to manoeuvre here.

However, with the cost of PS+ increasing, it'd be good to know our money is going to making our details a little more secure and our content a bit more difficult for baddies to get their hands on. It would be nice to know that your credit card details are at least safe.
