So I've recently been playing on Xbone and... (Off-Topic)

Though I may be a MSFT employee (and my thoughts any opinions don't reflect the company yadda yadda yadda), I personally feel that the Dashboard is the most user friendly its been in the Xbox One era to date. I have 0 problems navigating the party system at all.

I doubt I am the norm, but I want my interface to do just a few things:

-Let me launch the game I want to play as quickly as possible.
-Join a chat party as quickly as possible.
-Change console settings as quickly as possible.

That's it. There's so much bullshit and superfluous stuff on modern consoles, PS4 included. At least there are no ads, but prepare to be horrified if you ever press down on the d-pad.

I like the way PS4 handles it, actually. The base level UI is fast and easy to navigate, but seeing the game page is as easy as pressing down while a game is selected. I can easily see clips from the game, the trophies my friends have earned, whether it has add-on content I can get, etc. It's much more intuitive than finding the similar info on Xbox.

I don't hate the Xbox UI--it certainly is better than it was at launch. Some things are in weird places, still. It took me ages to find where I adjust my microphone volume.
