More controllers and UIs than games at this point. This is basically just a shrunken version of the current UI with a few tweaks.

LOGICWINS1022d ago

I was excited to try out this "new dashboard" and didn't notice the difference lol.

MrBaskerville1020d ago

I think having the library and store in the top is a big improvement and it seems to run better, feels lesd janky. Not a fan of the endless amount of stuff displayed if you keep going down. Same on ps5, but that's atleast mostly stuff related to the highlighted game. On Xbox it's everything from library stuff to ESPN apps.

StarkR3ality1020d ago

Yeah I actually really like the new dashboard, plus you get to see more of your chosen background as well. Not groundbreaking but the ease of use and visual changes are nice.

OptimusDK1019d ago (Edited 1019d ago )

@jin You just couldn’t resist right. Always no games story. But hey that is changing very fast. Spew it while you can.

CBaoth1017d ago

How so? With 68 billion committed to acquire ABK and Bethesda - what new games do you get to play?

Oh that's right nothing. Not one new game! Every game that's coming out was ALREADY in development for Xbox. That's how dumb xclowns are. Maybe they can buy Larian and force'em to port BG3 to the series G.

MIDGETonSTILTS171022d ago (Edited 1022d ago )

The irony is that my Xbot friends are always claiming I must be miserable with the UI of the PS5 (which has always been perfectly navigable)…. Meanwhile, Xbox is the one that feels the need to “improve” their UI every six months…

I guess it’s easier to tinker with a UI than make a decent AAA game.

Profchaos1020d ago

Sony nailed the PS3 UI the PS4 was good but tbh ps5 needs work but it's leagues better than the xbox one / series

Or maybe I just miss the xmb of the ps3/p

ModsDoBetter1020d ago

Yep PS5 UI is pretty poor compared to the XMB or PS4 layout. No folders or themes is just baffling.

shadowT1022d ago (Edited 1022d ago )

More Xbox UI updates than PS5 "stable" fixes :D

this looks more cluttered than before haha.
just with new tabs with clutter

Jin_Sakai1022d ago (Edited 1022d ago )

Wish they’d design a UI and actually put some character into it instead being cluttered with boring squares all over the place.

shinoff21831022d ago

It feels like a cluttered website.

CantThinkOfAUsername1020d ago

Everyone wants to provide the 'Netflix experience.'

purple1011021d ago

does it still have forced adverts like a couple year back during covid>??

shinoff21831021d ago

Not to bad that I noticed , but for the moment I've really just set it up, and checked grounded out.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio14d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing14d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit14d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing14d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
