Here is what I believe. The PS2 was a nightmare to code for and the UI was basically, nada. The Xbox, on the other hand, was easy to code for and had a dashboard, friends list, voice messaging, XBL, HDD, customized sound tracks during games etc. The PS3 was a nightmare to code for and the UI was very poor due to Sony not giving the machine enough OS ram. The Xbox 360, well, you get where I'm going.

I think the Xbone will have a better UI and it will run smoother because MS has been creating software since most of you weren't even alive. Sony's strength has never been software and I doubt it ever will. That doesn't mean PS4 won't have the best games etc, but if you're looking for quick and efficient apps, UI performance and integration across all things (smart phones, internet etc), you will want to own an Xbone.

Too bad most of us want a console to play games, not to look at the UI and how well it runs.

So do I but nothing, and I mean NOTHING is worse than a sluggish or clunky UI and OS imo.

But you/we must deal with the UI for what, 20-30 min when we buy and configure the console and once it's all set, less than 2 min. if we only want to play? That's nothing compared to the hours we'll spend gaming.

I understand that for you it's important, but for a lot of us it's not a big deal. Personally I don't care, and I have a WiiU with a slow UI...
