Sony has finally shared a look at one of the last and most important pieces of the PlayStation 5 puzzle: its user interface.

XMB on the PSP and especially PS3 has been my favorite of all the console UIs. Never cared for any of the variations of the XB1 one. I hated all the X360 UIs except the very first one. PS4 one not bad, it gets the job done. Switch UI is pretty nice too, if simplistic. I'd have to get hands-on with the PS5 one before I can form an opinion of it. Looks okay so far though. I think the XBSX UI just launched on the XB1.
