The XMB is my favorite. What you need is very easy to find!

The 360 is still the best IMO. However it used to be even better before the XMB



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

Could have been a good poll

NXE or Wii by far imo.

Wii's by far is easier to navigate and use.

I really like the 360's NXE layout, I just don't like that it takes time to load things sometimes.

I hate the XMB, there are too many submenu's, everything is just so cluttered and stuffed wherever it happens to fit.  It just feels so incredibly unorganized.

Nintendo's system is nice and simple and I like that I can organize it however I want, though I'd like some sort of structure. I wish I could have a Wii System page (disc game, Mii channel, ect), a VC page, and whatever else and just be able to go right to it.

All in all, I probably like the NXE the best. I just really like how it's organized even if it's really busy and takes time to load. Actually, I probably like the blades better sometimes.

What you said doesn't make sense, since you can put the Wii's menus in any way you want. The only option you can't move is the disc channel, but the organization you asked for is easily doable.

I like the XMB aesthetically. It's just too bad that some parts of it are not well organized. For one, there are way too many submenus in the Settings menu. 15 is too many.  Also, having the Playstation Store icon under every menu is ugly.

Also, the most annoying thing is that you can't sort things games alphabetically (only date played recent/old, and date created recent/old). That's just stupid. I do like that I can set up folders for the demos, the PS1 games, and the PSN games. And when those folders get too big, I plan on separating them into PS1 A-M, PS1 N-Z, and PSN A-M, PSN N-Z. It's just a damn shame that Sony can't figure out a simple sorting algorithm to sort them alphabetically.

I don't really like the Wii channels. Not being able to have subfolders would annoy me.

I liked the blades from the original XBox360. I can't comment on NXE, as I haven't spent much time looking at it. But I prefer a nice clean look, which is why I like the XMB. It looks sleek and uncluttered.

I like things in tabs and I know could make things tabs but it isn't the tabs I want.  I want a single tab for each thing that I can switch between.  Unless I really work at it my Wii menu's are just an unorganized mess.

The only home system I care to play the Nintendo Wii. It is extremly simple and the Wii mote makes it that much easier to use.

The Wii menu is easy to understand and navigate, but I find it completely useless nowadays. If there was an autoplay option I'd probably never see it again.

I say the XMB is better if only because you can bring it up at any time at the push of a button, message friends, see what people are playing, view your trophies etc. Plus, it's easy enough to use and dynamic themes FTW.

Can't comment on NXE.
