It wouldn't be a console generation without 10 different UI's throughout :P

It has nothing to do with Xbox. It's their mobile/lite OS for tablets and laptops. It's being made to compete against Chrome OS.

They're always updating the dashboard

I still think the Xbox 360 blade menu was the best.

I have both PS5 and Series X, this whole nonsense about Xbox dashboard being bad because it's not 4k is ridiculous.

They both look great, and when I go play a game on either I dont sit there and marvel at the slightly clearer PS5 menu. I.. like most gamers, kinda know their way around the systems dashboard and go straight to what they want without a second thought.

I'm all for improvements including resolution boost, but let's not make this seem like some huge deal or a fictional win for fanboys.

"there’s the ongoing mention across many groups and boards that Microsoft’s Xbox dashboard is disappointingly still a pretty standard affair compared to the Playstations new 4K interface"

Wha-------t?! The PS5 UI is trash ffs, even the XBox UI is better than that over-simplistic flat UI with tiny squares at the top of the screen that doesn't allow you to install dynamic themes anymore, and just has some still jpeg when you select a game. It's Sony who should revamp their PS5 UI, much more so than Microsoft.
And revamp the trophy sound on the PS5 also.
And revamp the PS Store on the PS5.
And revamp the internet browser... or actually implement one for that matter
And revamp the Media Player, or yet again implement one
And revamp the games library

Actually just revamp the PS5 altogether, lol

Hopefully the store is a better lay out before their last update the store layout was easy to navigate since this previous dashboard update the store layout is a pain in the ass.

Sounds like Microsoft. They just throw something out there. Meanwhile, Sony and Nintendo put some actual effort into their work, they do research, run tests, and send it out. When released, consumers are always impressed with Sony and Nintendos work and Microsoft they always say it sucks. So, Microsoft looks at what Sony and Nintendo have done and end up just copying that. Thats what Microsoft does. A company of zero innovation, its that simple. Jow many XMB revisions did PS3 go through? Xbox 360 had 3. PS4? Now PS5? Ya see, Microsoft are lazy to do the work to do it right the first time, in everytjing thry do. They always have to go back and do it again, and somehow, people respect them for it. (Must be like a really nerdy fat kid with zits and such all over him, and this raunchy nasty STD riddin girl approaches him willing to do what ever he wants for drug money and hes desperate so he takes her and sticks with her even though hes got the clap, because shes American made and hes suppoeting his own economy, her name is Hallo.)

As if I could give a damm about the PS dashboard, alll I want is for them to improve the launch speed of everything.

I am actually interested in this. Once upon a time Xbox had the far superior dashboard for quite some time. I haven't gotten a PS5 yet so I don't have an opinion on that, but I actually really enjoyed the PS4 dash even if it was "dated". I loved the dynamic themes like the BF1 theme that I always had on there and would like to see something as cool on Xbox (the background moving, the music in the background, the changing icons with the theme).

Curious to see what they do next.

The dashboard should have been 4K at launch! It is an eyesore.

I don’t care what they do with the dashboard . It should be 4k sure but what I am and have been waiting forever for is games to make me consider an Xbox . It’s been 10 years so I’m ot holding my breath . I think in 3-4 years I’ll consider one again

I miss the old blade interface from the OG360.

Still waiting on my Ps5 to see the ui and features there is atm.
Currently not too happy about either the PS4 or X one ui/os'es.

It all peaked with the ps3 XMB and 360 had a couple good dashboard iterations too to be fair, but it all went downhill from there and I gave up yelling about it years ago because none of these companies listens.
The os'es UI just have gotten pretty barebone and jumbled.
Ps4 leaning harder towards barebones and xbox banking harder towards jumbled as fuck.
neither are amazing though I do like some of the innovations that came with the Ps4 like suspend/sleep and share features. outside of that ... eeeehhhh oof.

Id be happy if these companies pull their heads out of their asses and make the ui's/os'es great again. intuitive, fleshed out, customizable and utilitarian. I know its a secondary concern to getting great games and all, but someone over at sony makes money just developing the ui and os and appearantly if you can believe it its kinda what ms whole sthick is with you know... windows and all. lol.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
