Doubt Sony will ever try to actually upgrade the user interface to PSN. I wish they did tho.
Sony as a company is not doing particularly well. So if the feature is going to cost money, it won't happen. Could see PSN limping along like this for years with minor feature upgrades every while. But I'm not holding my breath for a genuine 2.0 reboot.
PS3 PS Store interface was so glorious.
I know right? They shoulda kept it like that but they wanted it to match the ps4 one. Now ps3 store is slow as shit.PS3 PS Store interface was so glorious.

Increase the cloud save storage and organize the download list (specially for Vita).
Still waiting for X has logged on and X is playing Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes.
(I have Metal Gear Solid V on the brains, going to be like that until September 1st)
PS4 games already have hubs since launch. The only thing it doesn't have is "developer interaction like steam".
Steam = Ctrl C + Ctrl V

PS3 store was always slow as shit for me.
The current game hubs are bad and they need some that feature user content on the PS Store. Remember how OnLive allowed you to go to a game and see everyone playing it? We need soemthing like that on each game's live area and store page, but show: streams, videos, screenshots, and reviews.
The only thing that matters.Free multiplayer.
Better/more CDN's with universal consistent speeds that max out the client's throughput
lol. While obviously they need to improve things, what you are asking is impossible, literally.
Free multiplayer.
God I hope the twitter campaign takes off and someone from Sony finally acknowledges the sorry state that PSN is in.
Just throw it all away and start from the ground up
I'll just use the hashtag and tweet a link to this thread to the people mentioned in the OP. It's really not about a single feature PSN is missing anymore.
I'd be careful with adding too much to the list in the OP because some features would be nice but are hardly essential and the MAJOR issues get a bit lost in it. They need to fix everything that's broken (download list, download speeds, store tagging and categorization) before they begin to add new things. Maybe split it into two lists, things that need to be fixed and new feature requests?
This would be my suggestion;
MAJOR issues that need to be fixed asap:
Better/more CDN's with universal consistent speeds
Organized library and download lists
Unlimited cloud storage for saves with PS+
Up-to-date digital titles (fully patched when downloading post-launch)
Correctly tagged games in the store
Fix bug that prevents users from accessing the Store in certain situations, needing a reboot
Refined Store navigation, design, fluidity/polish and organization
Search function and filters for download history/library
Two-factor authentication
Additional Feature Requests:
Continous trophy syncing
Message system refinement
Better friends list functionality with nicknames, grouping by categories (games, relationship), and VIP tags tied to the notification system
Store wishlist, gifting system (cross-region gifting?)
Online/offline status
Universal game invites
Username changing along with a username history system in the user's profile page
Behind the scenes (less disruptive) maintenance
Direct developer/players interaction, statuses, in the game hubs
Custom avatars (purchasable or own uploaded via PS app)
Refund system similar to Steam's
Enhanced user profile page showing favorite games, screenshots/recordings, game wishlist, deeper activity sections (game statistics)
Refined activity feed (What's On section)
Cloud storage for screenshots, especially trophy screenshots (maybe recordings too if 30 sec or less?)
Enhanced Store game pages, include user reviews, make screenshots/videos standard for all titles
Account region change
Deeper social integration (G+, Facebook, Twitter...etc)
Improved account recovery process
Purchase and management of PS Vita downloads through the PS4 store
PS3 PS Store interface was so glorious.
How should I reword it? I want it to not lose its meaning.
Done.I'm not sure the best way to word it, but as it is now you'd be implying that people with Google Fiber should be getting several hundred Mb/s, which no server is going to support when it's feeding a ton of people at once.
I'd say simply improving it to be competitive with their peers is reasonable enough.

Forbes: Can you give me an example of something else youve changed for the better, but that hasnt gotten as much attention?
Shawn Layden: Do you have a PS3? Did you try to buy something from the store? Did you realize when you were doing that, we gave you like five chances to stop your purchase? It was like, Are you sure you want to buy this? Do you have enough money? Do you want to check your money? Did you ask your mom? Do you want this in your cart? Seriously, in your cart? Oh my god! Its like sales prevention was the user experience for PS3. I think with PS4, weve really optimized that experience. You know, the download itself is actually faster, and one of the great features is that you can start to play before youve completed your download. How good is that? Not waiting forever to get that done? We spent a lot of time and a lot of work around enhancing that experience, which I think has been great for the platform and for users.

Thank you Sammy Barker!!
who's sammy barker? is he a big guy in the industry?

Yes.Does the OP cover the download list? I didn't see it in there. The download list is such a disaster.
Search function, better organization and filters for download history/library
Oh ps4 he's not wrong, but it's still too slow.alright this is just laughable
