You should have put this thread in the Sony section, not gaming. Your OP does not apply to X360.

I have a PS3 and a X360. In comparison to PS3 the X360 interface is incredibly fast and well organized. The download times are also much faster. I decided to use my 360 for internal or external apps like MS Video, Watchever or Arte+7 until MS pulls the trigger.

It applies to Nintendo stuff, though.

DS -> 3DS: An actual analog stick slider, improved social features, usable multitasking, 3D, remotely usable browser, multitasking?

Wii -> Wii U: GamePad, a good eShop, a quick OS and browser, improved social features?

I have all 4 systems you mentioned and Nintendo is the only company where I don't care about their (still pretty clumsy imo) interfaces. They don't market their systems as media hubs after all. Yes, there are improvements but I buy Nintendo systems despite their interfaces.🙈 If I would care about their interfaces I'd have to complain about them like the OP about his PS3.

I'm going to quote the OP:

There is this argument that the change from old to new gen isn't big enough. Just a few more pixels and particles. That the gameplay experience is the same on old gen consoles if you don't care about graphics.

[...]

So screw anyone who says that the upgrade to current gen isn't worth it by only citing graphical differences. Graphics are nice but regardless of the pixels I will have been playing for an hour by the time last gen users passed all loading screens.

 

It doesn't matter if you don't care, the point is that there have been big improvements on the Nintendo side aside from just graphics.

In fact, I could say the same about the PSP -> PS Vita.
