A look at the new user interface NGP

Sony seems to have put the toy in the drawer the good old CrossMediaBar, or XMB, user interface designed for the PSP and introduced in virtually every Japanese manufacturer of devices with software and menu system of some sort. The look quite elegant, though spartan, the XMB confirmed in a particular way to navigate the menus done by remote control or a controller, as Kotaku points out, which is clearly ill suited to the new NGP and its touch screen, allowing more direct interaction with the icons.

For this reason, the new user interface NGP, shown below, looks decidedly different dall'XMB, with icons and Mobile "touchable" to be activated, placed on a grid. Seen in this way, actually, is not exactly as elegant as the XMB, but it is likely that this is still a provisional version of DU's final console.
