PS4 vs Xbox One: 8 Point Comparison To Determine Which Console Is Better For You?

#2 User Interface

Oh, man. This isn't even close. The UI for the Xbox One is absolute garbage.

I mean, it's not unusable, and you can get around it easily enough, I suppose. But, it's ugly and it's unorganized and it's just... ugh. Seriously, Microsoft. Did you let some intern's nephew design this so you could save some money? Windows 3.1 was easy to navigate than this thing.

The UI for the PS4, however, builds upon the UI introduced on the PSX (not the original PlayStation, but a Japan-only version of the PS2 that also included a DVR). It's easy to navigate, it's slick, and it lends itself to the various different themes available for the main menu. It's not perfect, but it seems to get better with every update.

Or, more to the point, I don't dread a PS4 UI update like I do an Xbox One UI update.

Sorry, MS. I think I've been pretty fair to you so far, but your UI sucks.

Winner: PS4 (by a friggin' landslide)
