To be fair, it looks like a lot of those tests have as much to do with the layout of the UI as it has to do with the speed of it. (ie. It seems like the friends menu is the first thing that opens up when you go to the Xbox menu? (not sure about that) while on the PS4 you have to scroll to find it). So it depends a bit on the action you want to perform I guess. Either way, now we're at the point where both are pretty fast, so it doesn't matter too much. The difference between 2 and 4 seconds isn't as noticeable as the difference between 4 and 8 seconds.


You are spot on. what they did was improve the layout of the key elements to social gaming. I'm not sure how the actual load times compares to the old OS or the ps4's for that matter, but the Layout is nice.

I heard somewhere that the old os had 12 seconds to get to friends.

Both are pretty good, which is amazing. I hated the loading time of the PS3... even to do simple things.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Those precious seconds.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

While I like the speed increase. I have had to reset my Xbox one plenty of times since the update.

Unless they can fix these issues I personally don't think it's ready for live.


Group chat is a buggy mess.

Can´t play Halo 5 with my friends that the conection drops every other game.

System booting? Cold boot speed? Game load times? Game install times? Lots of tests missing all these tests seemed to be layout related.

Maybe Digital Foundry will do some proper testing.

That's a ridiculously selective set of tests.


Exactley. no Game installs, cold and warm boot tests. I never cared about social features.

 

You can still see that PS4 is still faster in getting you on the main menu, not to mention that the main menu is also graphicly harder to render than just these xbox one blade popping up.



Why i left PC gaming

Is it live for everyone, yet? I got in on the preview and good lord, the glitches (which they warned about). Twitch with no video, freezing, YouTube not working, no wallpaper, etc. I must have filed like ten reports. They did fix them most of the time but wow. Hope the test run went well.
