Belonged to the 360 when it first came out, the original Blades were awesome. Slick, easy to navigate, atheistically pleasing whilst being functional. The blades had it all then MS had to go and ruin it with those shitty avatars.

Did not belonged to the 360. It was too confusing, too many ads and menu was crazy.

PS3 had simple menu.

BEST UI DOES NOT MEAN IT HAS MOST COLORS, ADD AND RANDOM STUFF, BUT BEST UI IS WHAT IS SIMPLIEST AND EASIEST.

It did when the 360 launched. That's his point it is was ad free and perfect at launch before MS tried to Windows 8 it and made it shit.

Went

1)Original 360 UI

2)PS3 UI.

3)Windows 8 Ad clone UI.

I'm really liking the PS4 UI. Easy to navigate and jump around. Its pretty quick too.

The PS3's UI was also easy to navigate but soooo slow.

Clearly, PS3 and PS4 were winners. Both has simple and easy UI. I don´t need UI that has adds, colors and all random stuff at random places that makes no sense at all.

You make no sense at all. And it's spelled "Ads"

ps4 definitely. The only ads you will ever see are typically in single tab for "what's new" and link back to related items in the marketplace. It is BLAZING FAST and easy to navigate.

I liked the blades on the 360 a lot, but I didn't mind the first new UI they made for the 360 after the blades either.

But since then, the boxes and attempts at recreating the windows 8 look are just total shit. There's a reason why everyone hates windows 8 despite being an upgrade. Ps3 was functional, but slow and exactly the same as the psp, so it also is pretty low on the list.

WiiU is pretty great actually, having the touchscreen makes it even simpler. If it was speedier to go into settings and stuff like that it would be perfect.

I liked the blades but the ps4 and wii u interfaces are much better. The ps4 is snappier but as stated above, besides the settings loading times, the Wii u interface with touch screen is really accessible which is what I want. I hate what ms did to the ui of the 360 after the blades because it just got too clutteted. If I wanted to be using windows 8, I'd put it on my pc. I wish ms would stop pushing the terrible Metro interface on people and just go back to simple.

Ultimately ps4 and wii u for me though. Sorry for the rant.

@iambatman7986: I'm pretty sure the biggest complaint about Windows 8 for desktop was because trying to force a layout designed for tablets and phones. Interestingly, Metro works well with Xbox One except for terrible speech recognition and inability to recognize natural speech.

XMB

But the blades were so much better than the add-riddled nonsense MS has now. I haven't updated my Xbox 360 since this UI:

pretty much 99% of the ads on the 360 are to something Xbox related.

Lol, I wouldn't exactly label the Wii U UI as quick. Sure it's faster now than it was at launch, but it's still not quick. Especially in comparison to the PS4.

I meant everything is accessible with a single touch. You don't have to go around digging in sub menus.

The loading times themselves are around three seconds following a click, nothing I can't live with. But yeah, they should aim to make it as snappy as the 3DS OS.

Now that I totally agree with. I was impressed with how easy it was to find things during my short time with it. Hopefully Nintendo can continue to improve the overall performance of the OS.

I like the XMB best. Simple, easy to navigate, and you can customize it with some nice themes.

Pretty much this, too bad the latest store update ruined how functional the store use to be.

Still a fan of the 2nd gen 360 UI, XMB wasn't flashy but very functional

PS4 UI > W8 tiles

"BEST UI IS WHAT IS SIMPLIEST AND EASIEST."

Exactly, so the PS3 menu isn't even fucking close. Its a trainwreck in ease of use. Just because its simple, does not make it superior.

I like the one on the PS3 the best. Its fast and easy to navigate. The PS4 looks better, and its a lot faster, but sony needs to allow you to organize it better. With a few updates it could be the best. On the 360 I was a fan of the blades, and I also thought the NXE was good dashboard, its quite surprising how advance that UI was compared to what we got with the xbone. How MS managed to downgrade the dash so much, I'll never know.

So......content that is all available on the Xbox Live Marketplace?

I suppose you feel the same about the "Whats New" section of the PS3 interface, no?

UFC fights? Chronicles of Riddick? Music unlimited? Credit cards?

Dove skin care bodywash? Lawl.

Wow, such game.

False. The Playstation 3 goes immediately to the Whats New section upon booting.

I somewhat agree with TC, Xbox 360 blade system was pretty damn good. As much as I'm a Sony fanboy now, I do have fond memories of using this UI and when it was all about the games and not Kinect, avatars, TV and ads-in yo face UI. Indeed, I did enjoy XBOX360 early in it's life.. but then it just went to hell and xbone fails to impress even further.

If the WiiU interface was more customizable it would be perfect.

I think Nintendo could generate a lot more traffic and revenue (though slight) if the provided the options for themes and such.

I Loved the blades! They didnt have all those shtity ads all over the place like they started doing with NXE. Although, I did like the NXE as well, but it went downhill from there honestly..
