So far having now bought them both I have to say the PS4 UI is just horrific. It is so plain and boring. Sure what matters is the games but it would of been nice to have seen Sony do something a bit more flashy with it. |
That's contrary to pretty much every review..The ps4 UI is outstanding, fast, responsive, everything is easy to find and just a click or two away. Well organized.

Couldn't disagree more. Firstly it is non customabale meaning my UI and yours looks exactly the same. There are no themes, no ways to change colours or move icons. It has just two rows with the first being user stuff i.e trophies, psn store and settings etc and the second being the apps and games. To say that is outstanding is just laughable considering what other devices UI's look like. It is fast and moves from one tile to the next very smooth. But when there is nothing there is that really a compliment? Take the Wii U or Xbox One UI. Those things look miles better and have a shit load more content/things to do as'well.
In comparison to the 360, PS3, Xbox One and Wii U the PS4 interface IN MY OPINION is by far the worst looking. Like I said it is about the games but would have been nice if Sony did something different with it. Right now I would say even my Vita's UI looks more appealing.

Themes and clours have ZERO to do with useablity...and that will come later. Pretty much irrelevant. There is nothng wrong with the UI and most loved it AGAIN see reviews0 everything is easy to find and in a logical place, it also looks very nice. The drop down menu on each gam,e and area loioks outstanding. All info you need in 1 spot Agree to disagree.

Sorry bud but like you say will have to agree to disagree. In the era of smart technology i.e Phones, Tablets, advanced desktops, handheld consoles (3DS/Vita) which all enable you to custom how your home page looks then going to something that doesn't let you change anything is a step backwards. Especially when you consider you could change things and make it more personal on the PS3. The X1 is just as fast as the PS4 in regards to the interface and I can fully custom it to my liking. I honestly cannot see how you would think having less personalisation from the previous console = good because it moves faster.

That will be on ps4 as werll so moot point.... MS is missing some things at launch like streaming, So is sony.. Hardly a big deal, Still doesn't change the fact the UI itself is great, organized, fast. It's gotten praise for a reason. SM is cluttered and yes it is slower, there is lag and snap doesn;t work near as well as advertised, it's a waste of resources that should hae gone towards gaming.

I am talking about the UI not what features each console has....How on earth did you get to that from what I said??
I can tell you don't have both. I wonder if you did would you think the same. Because to say it is cluttered is pretty humerous. There is no lag, snap works fine for me. I have had no problems at all. In fact being able to go from playing a game, to watching tv, to listening to music on my phone then back to a game instantly without pressing a single button is simply amazing. So where you say it should of gone towards gaming I disagree. If I am paying £500 + on something I expect it to do more then just one thing. I expect it to be able to do many things just like I do when I buy a tablet, buy a pc, buy a car, buy a mp3 player and so on.
I appreciate that you love the PS4. So do I, I am playing KZ (as you can see on my GT). But my point is in comparison to other devices (not just the X1) the UI although fast is pretty boring and non customable. Having 2 rows of tiles and the rest just blue screen seems a waste. Now obviously you don't agree with me, fair enough. But while both consoles have good and bad things about them if we are comparing the UI's and only that there is no comparison. The X1 wins that vs with complete ease.
