Xbox, why? The baffling incompetence of the Xbox One interface | |

It looks like an improvement. And as long as you arent actually using it, it is. The Xbox 360s sprawling, multi-layered, ad-splattered interface, crammed as best as the engineers could manage into hardware that was never designed to support it, has been replaced by an elegant three-pane view. Home shows recent activity, Pins shows user-created shortcuts, Store holds everything you might want to buy. Advertising, though present, is less obtrusive. Three blocks on the main screen are apparently targeted based on user activity, and even if they arent then its hardly the obstruction that it used to be. Not having a social feed in the main interface, like PS4, is a missed opportunity, although to Microsofts credit it takes only a single button press to launch the quick-loading, Facebook-like activity feed. Its when you try and do anything from here that problems arise. | ||
