    the switch has no music for anything, boring ass hud, can't switch the background, no exclusive apps s*** is just so bland. has a lot of the same reasons i didn't like the xbox 360.

    Got on the gamecube a while ago and just looked through everything on my old memory card and it's wild how that alone just had so much more character. the weird creepy but somewhat nostalgic music, and sound effects with the dark void and all the memory slots had some little special art for it. just

    Sad playstation seems to be the only console left that's attempting this

    The decision to make the switch UI so minimal must have been to spare CPU. Kinda sucks that we don’t even have themes

    Yeah if we ignore that the Switch itself is a Mobile console with detachable controllers that can connect to your TV at any time

    Xbox UI has zero personality it looks like a basic Microsoft product UI

    Ps5 UI is has more personality but I wouldn’t even say it has personality it just has more of a theme

    OP right

    Sad that Microsoft didn't carry over more of the Xbox 360's features like customizable dashboard, gamercard, avatars, music etc... Xbox one's hud and home screen remind me of the inside of a corporate office

    The UI on the PS5 is decent. I find it extremely annoying that it defaults to the explore page whenever I get to the home page

    I like the ps5 UI but it doesn’t have much in terms of actual personality

    PS3 UI still goated those sounds hit me

    That's how a lot of UX design has been going in general. Very minimal, very sterile, very corporate.

    I appreciate it once in awhile but it's weird seeing something that's supposed to be fun like consoles taking that approach too.

    The Ps5 is kinda bland too, not really much going on, would be nice if they brought back dynamic themes like the PS3 and PS4 had.

    I did have to make a Japanese account just to get this tho

    Never understood people who get nostalgic about UI’s and s*** like whatever the hell OP is talking about

    Just make the console more powerful and make better games. Could not care less about what the home screen that I spend 15 seconds on looks like
