XMB is pretty nifty. Why doesn't anyone like the new dashboard on the 360? It doesn't look THAT bad. >.>
I find it difficult to use. The games can't be organized nearly as well as they used to, and now there are large square ads where important things should be, like the game you'd like to play.
The thing I love about the Wii menu is that everything is point-and-click, much like a PC. You can organize everything with simple drag-and-drop actions. XMB is more organized than the Metro UI, but it still looks pretty bland in comparison.

Solution: Xbox Launch (name of game) You also Have bing search and quickplay. Not sure how hard it is.
WAT!

XMB is cleaner. I'm pissed that it won't be used on the vita. XMB also has the problem that it doesn't have a design Language behind it that allows it too be used for other types of products. Hence the reason why the PSN store looks different and why Sony Phones don't carry it.

Can you sort games, videos, and apps by name, type, time played, etc.? On the PS3 you can do that.

The PSN Store is designed in a grid format to make things easier to find. It does look cluttered, but that's what Sony chose when they designed it.
And Sony's Blu-ray players and some Bravia TV's use the XMB.
The Vita's menu is designed to resemble Android and iOS. It's designed for a touchscreen, which explains why the icons are spaced out and can be moved around quickly.
I'm not sure about the new Xbox design, but definitely the PS3´s is the worst, I love my PS3 in general, but I just can´t take its interface, its too clunky and bad organized.

Badly organized? Everything is sorted in it's own icon.

And Those are horrible solutions that don't even begin to address the problems I stated.
Oh and I just noticed that the new interface doesn't lable demoes. I seriously thought I owned Radiant Silvergun for a second. This is just stupid now. Why can't I just have it so it only lists my full games? The old Interface did that.

Even the PS3 doesn't clearly list demos. It groups them with all your other downloaded games.

I know that blue ray players use it.
What I mean is that Other OS's Market place and apps e are made to resemble the main motif. The way XMB is made its impossible.

Agreed. I like the appearance of the new dash, but nothing is where I would expect it to be. I'll probably get used to it in time, but my first impressions are ones of mild frustration with the organization. It irks me that advertisements are displayed more predominantly than the game in my systems disc tray (on a paid service, no less). It is also kind of annoying that several features of the old dash are missing or pending the release of an additional app.
As for which interface is my personal favorite, bearing in mind I have no experience with the XMB, I have to go with the Wii/DSi/3DS interface. I like being able to have my games and applications organized the way I want them organized, not the way MS or anyone else thinks they should be organized.
