SCE really need to engage the community more, especially with updates. It's like they're trapped 20 years in the past.
I suspect the problem continues to be the firmware all being handled in Japan. It almost seems like they're isolated from the rest of Playstation, and thus we only hear about what's coming when someone in Japan says we can.
They have actually started talking about fixes that are coming, sometimes months in advance, which is a change for the better. But of course the fact that the changes are taking months to arrive is ridiculous.
People complained about the constant firmware updates on the PS3 so Sony obliged with the PS4. Suddenly monthly updates are all the rage. There are many things that have flipped this generation to suit a certain demographic.
This is absolute nonsense. People complained about PS3 firmware updates for two reasons.
- They took forever to complete, meaning that you turned on your console and it was unusable for 20-60 minutes, depending on how good your internet was and how fast Sony's servers were at the time.
- Stability was usually all the updates were for, which made point one all the more annoying.
With the PS4 they've at least improved problem 1, but 2 is still very much a problem. Take a look at the list of updates so far this year. You'll notice a common trend. Stability. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_4_system_software
