While DLNA support (lack thereof) comes as a shocker when first reading that sentence... 10 seconds later the thought of "I use my WDTV" or "I use my Roku" or "I use device X" for that anyways and would likely never use the PS4 for it anymore comes to mind.
This was huge 5-8 years ago... these days though... its much more power efficient and usually less hassle to use a device designed for it (5w on my WDTV versus 220w draw on 360). Better remote (use iPhone app) etc...
so bottom line... no big deal.
Not everyone has a WDTV (I dont'), not everyone has a Roku (I dont'), not everyone has device X that does DLNA (I do it is called a PS3). I was going to buy the PS4 as an upgrade to the PS3, so I sort of expected certain base functionality like DLNA. I don't see why I would have to buy another device on top of the PS4 to get DLNA.
I use DLNA pretty much every day, and for the PS4 not to have it is a big deal for me, and does effect my purchasing decision making.
