Switch menu is the current perfect menu


Miiverse was also the perfect social integration and nothing anyone is trying right now can compare.

Yeah this, everyone just needs to copy this UI, it's perfect. No achievements, no social media integration, you have full privacy, no advertising at the main menu, its just perfect and fast.

Switch is still bad because it has the dumb "NEWS AND UPDATES" garbage on the standby menu but at least it doesn't take 20 seconds to load a game.

My main issue with the xbox UI on the One S at least is how it always feels so sluggish, and seems to get overhauled every time I turned the console on.

What adverts are upsetting you? I see one for call of duty that says sponsored next to it, but it looks just like the other boxes that say play Alan wake on game pass ( another ad of sorts) and another box that shows what one of my friends is playing.

I block all ads when browsing Youtube on my desktop but it's pretty jarring when I occasionally decide to use the the YT app on a console and instantly run into obnoxious ads.

First things first, anything with advertising on it automatically gets a 1/10 and can't be improved from there until its removed. The Xbox One UI is a 1/10 on just this alone, but it just happens to have other reasons for why it is pure trash.

Yeah, this is the main reason my consoles are only used for exclusives and free games I don't already have on PC. If I paid a decent chunk of money for the system and on top of that subscribe to your online service, gently caress you for shoving ads down my throat.

Edit: A close second reason is social media bullshit that can't be disabled. I don't give a flying gently caress that some dipshit is streaming a game in my library or whatever.

I like all of the current UIs. playstation has the fanciest themes but seems to be the slowest especially while trying to go downthread on a game tile
xbone lets you do a pleasant amount of customization to your homescreen and adding apps or games to your home screen so you can immediately go to deep links for them is convenient. it is probably the most functional
switch is not anything it is just a list of games and there are no real non-game functions you need to access

its just uggo to go from 4k game to 1080 menu and people see it and go "eww" cause its a clear downgrade. nbd but you do deffo notice

Well for one... I was just trying to make a "more resolution just means they'll cram more crap on it" joke.

But I 4K game on a nice 4K tv and when the tv goes back to menu I definitely don't go "eww." Or at least not because of the resolution. It's a pretty plane jane design (and maybe that's the point) but I def don't just, like, have some sort of emotional whiplash to 1080p.

Right? Of all my concerns in the world, video games or otherwise, the Xbox MENU not being in 4k is the very very least of my concerns.

But if it's true that I can streamline the menus and get all the crap I never look at off the screen I will be happy even if the menu is 4:3 analog.

The menu is fast and you can just click my games and apps and pins and have the 20+ things that you might want to select up to choose from in under half a second (you add your own pins).... Much to do about nothing

Someone did a heat comparison of one x vs series x (in Dutch)

https://tweakers.net/reviews/8252/3/xbox-series-x-onze-eerste-indrukken-en-tests-meten-is-weten.html

Xbox One X - 65 °C
Xbox Series X - 48 °C

Series x is quieter, runs cooler, and consumes less power than the one X.
