From what we’ve seen so far, Sony is going to take the crown as the best gaming console out of the gate in 2013. Microsoft is still releasing a great console, but it’s clear from the launch games that have been detailed that the Xbox One as a gaming device is arriving a little undercooked.

But what about the times where you aren’t using your console to mow down zombies or take that hairpin turn at 120mph? Which of the consoles offer the best couch surfing entertainment experience?

Sony and Microsoft are both working hard to release devices that are so much more than just gaming consoles. Over the past few years, a lot of people have started using their consoles for streaming movies, music, and even video chats and surfing the web. These full service devices are significant, as their features often determine where on the TV Input list the console goes.

Microsoft is hoping to circumvent this by allowing for TV passthrough on their console so your Xbox One is always on when your TV is on, even going so far as to mockingly suggest that you play your PS4 through the HDMI passthough, but at the end of the day it’s the individual services that are going to interest consumers.

Sony claims that the PS4 will hit shelves with eleven apps for media content, which is separate from their own services for music, movies, and TV shows. This list includes much of what is already available on the PS3, which is a good thing. Crunchytoll, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus, and Epix soaks up most of what the average user will turn to for video playback, with sports offerings from NBA and NHL in there as well. You’ve got Crackle, Vudu, and YuppTV in there as well. Curiously missing from this list is YouTube and Twitch.TV, both of which are services the PS4 will allow users to upload recorded content to as part of the main OS.

Microsoft’s already verbose video offerings on the Xbox 360 are only getting larger on the Xbox One, but not everything is there. YouTube is also missing from the Xbox One listings for some reason, as well as HBO Go, which is expected to be available later. Machinima, NFL, and ESPN are some of the larger items that seem to be Microsoft exclusives, as well as Univision Deportes, CW, FX, and Fox apps. Verizon will have their app available at launch as Microsoft’s content partner for Live and streaming TV, but Time Warner and Comcast are expected to follow suit after the launch.

As living room entertainment systems go, Microsoft has got a strong lead on Sony. The Xbox One is suffering from 720p launch titles against the PS4’s consistent 1080p performance, but it seems more likely from an entertainment perspective that Microsoft’s console would take Input One in a living room setup.
