Looks great. Pretty sure my Mometus XT will mitigate the load times for the UI, like it did for PS3.

Did people want a metro style UI or some shit? PS3's UI is very simple and intuitive, and this looks to follow on the same path. I like it.
Good job posting the old UI mockups.let me show this...

Nice, simple and fast. That's all I want.
I'm going to start up the PS4 and I'll either go to messages, marketplace or start up a game.
I don't want a load of stuff cluttered on the screen that I'll use once or twice at best.

For the sake of comparison, the Xbox One version of the upload screen....

Xbox UI is very flat, which seems to be the fashionable thing in UI at the moment. To be fair, when I create UI for work I prefer the flat look, but there's a line where flat becomes opaque to a user and UX suffers. To me metro designs in win 8 and xbox one cross that line. The XMB's strength is that it gives you a sense of where you are within the UI scheme. Flat, maximised panes don't do that well.
what look better designed for u ..tell me this
i really think u dont need a design degree to see it

Eeeerrrr, yes? It's so simple my great gran would understand this and she's 100+.
Indeed it did
MS can make there OS look more feature rich to me even though it isnt,
thats impressive.
it just looked a lot smoother and faster on the X1.

I don't like how long it takes for some of the icons/squares to load.
Aside from that, I really anjoy it. Simple and to the point, just like the XMB.

People like transition animations, squares, and ads.

Plain and simple. And it looks smooth and quick and focused on gaming. That is all I could have hoped for.

What are you even talking about, first of all? There are multiple aspects of design, are you talking about usability or art choices?what look better designed for u ..tell me this

Is there just no talent working in UI for game companies these days?

I asked for you to say what makes a well designed menu, I didn't ask for a comparison. If I wanted to see a X1 menu screen, I know how to use google
sorry the screenshot that i should post is this.....the screen where u trim
both do the same things...both aspect.one is unactrative/ugly one is good designed

That's an old mock up, don't know if it's changed. Some shots from the GC vid.

The number of people that like Windows 8 confirms that...

I think they both look functional and designed well. What am I missing?

yeah that mockup have nothing to do with the real os
Only thing that looks slow there is the loading of data off the network, which hopefully will be better at home. Actual load/switching of game/apps looks fast.
(Although it wouldn't surprise me if the web browser rendering ends up not being super fast ...)

So ...I'm gonna ask again. Which aspect are you talking about? Usability or aesthetics, because there is a different answer for both??sorry the screenshot that i should post is this.....the screen where u trim
both do the same things...both aspect.one is unactrative/ugly one is good designed
looks okay, being fast and responsive is top priority and that seems to be accomplished. As for aesthetics, i am a fan of old XMB, so these overcrowded UIs from PS4 and XBO aren't what i would choose, but this is what we got. I can see them evolving over time too, so i am sure that at the end of the generation both consoles UI will look different.
As for loading times, i guess some data needs to be downloaded from the internet, and that will affect ui performance on both devices every now and then, unless it catches data in the background.
I'd like to see the internet explorer , i hope it is a big improvement over ps3 one, i must be with that amount of ram available.

Yet you still haven't said one aspect that makes a good design. Just saying "well, this one is better" doesn't mean that either are good
Please explain to me how I'm being hypocritical.
Good design is beautiful in and of itself, without the need for decoration & frilly pants.
Actually, its all those people buying Windows Pho-- wait...
in a screen where a user need 4 buttons and a video?
u know what do the difference in the design? ..the colours the buttons design the icons..the fonts....
if u talk with a designer everything in the ps4 ui look ..."meh"..from the font to the choice of colors...to the manu shapes..to the icons ...
wtf guys are you defending this talented design masterpiece?!?!

Things I like about Sony approach.
App feed: Just like Vita live area, we can get news and other info just glance through the app feed. Save a lot of time to load into the game and see if your friend beat your high score.
Massage, notification,friend list, trophy and party all under the same hood at main screen. Again, no need to go into separate app to get latest info preview within main screen, very convenience.
It might look empty, but all the function actually pack into the main screen, which save a lot of unnecessary click.

Well the PS4 screenshot shows visually frames from times in the entire clip. If I was going to trim it out from point A to point B I'd have a better idea of where to start, because I could visually reference where I wanted to start from looking at the whole clip.
The Xbox version just has a bar, and looks like once you DO pick out a start and stop point it shows those frames, which is useful - but how do you know that's where you wanted to start and stop without navigating the whole clip? There's no reference point.
Sony's looks more useful. Form follows function.

You do realize that all you've been posting are old, outdated mockups from the very early build of the firmware right?in a screen where a user need 4 buttons and a video?

Or maybe perhaps that's the only way your post even passes as acceptable?

You're talking about decoration, not design. It's a very common mistake to make since the word 'design' is misused all the time.
