What Were The Most Useless Features Of This Console Generation?

Track pad on PS4 controller might as well been a big button.

Of the examples in the OP, I'd say the speaker was my least used feature. I often play my PS4 through my computer, monitor, and my headphones connected to my computer. As such, having an external speaker is kind of useless so I just set that to be disabled all the time.

The lightbar was kind of whatever. I liked the little extra immersion it brought but wouldn't be too torn up if it wasn't there.

The Xbox One's features are so useless that people forgot about them.

snap was sort of cool, you could snap the football game to the side while playing a game.

Of course in practice it was the size of a postage stamp and you wouldn't really do that.

This is a DualShock 4 thread if I've ever seen one. But seriously, as much as I enjoy the touchpad when it's used it doesn't get used much. All the VR games that I've played that used the light bar didn't need to. I've never liked speakers in controllers.
