After 4 weeks, I actually realised yesterday I no longer navigate menus on consoles with controller at all anymore. I no longer sign in with controller anymore. I no longer use controllers for uch anything other than playing a game.


How much quicker is it compared to navigating the same dashbord with an analogue stick and buttons ?


not really a fair comparision.   voice commands are a crutch for xbone's poorly designed UI.

Poorly designed UI, your joking right? I am a PC gamer yet i would say the XB1 has the best UI out of the 3.

U havent used it then, UI is about use not looks.

Yeah i have used it, i use it all the time, then again im used to windows 8 so for me the XB1 is simple and not far off from a PCs interface. PS4 and WiiUs are very basic. Im not talking about looks either.

They released a crappy version of Kinect three years and are now forcing the OK Kinect on Xbox One buyers.

If they did not release the original kinect and made the kinect 2 (or as it would be known just kinect) optional for $60 like the PS4 camera it would be a success in my opinion.

But it is a success. Whats your point? Do you think PS Camera is a success?

I am at a complete loss when people praise the Xbox One interface for being great and better than the PS4's.

The Xbox One interface is a big mess thats just shoves to much shit in your face.

The PS4 interface is a simple bar where you go sideways for categories where you can easily scroll down or across.

I don't know if the PS4 camera is a success but the PS4 camera received much less press and advertising compared to the kinect and is a poor comparison in my opinion.

Although with streaming services as they are the PS4 camera may very well be a success in relative terms given Sony's investment in the product.

Id take the ps4 interface over that mess on x1. Ps4 is so simple, and done right. Voice commands on x1 are nothing more than a crutch.
