Switch doesnt have a functional OS right now so it shouldnt count.
But you're wrong. The design wouldn't be clean if it had more features. It's not just about apps. I brought up PS4 in a thread about comparing console UIs as a point of comparison. If the Switch had as many features as other consoles, it wouldn't be clean.
It's a horizontal row of squares, which was the main complaint about the old PS4 UI. At some point things will have to change because it simply won't be practical anymore if you're storing a lot of games.
So while I love the clean minimalist look of the Switch UI, at some point they will have to add some organisation/folders or whatever else if they want to keep it uncluttered.
I'm assuming it'll get folders and also the option to have the tiles on a grid like 3DS
hopefully
PS3? It's cluttered with apps and gamed you can't remove. Yes, fuck you Singstar. 😡
When you get more than, I believe, 12 tiles, you can change to a grid view.
Used to be PS4 and now it's Switch.
It's not necessarily good though. In Switch's case, I feel that it actually lacks functions and a bit too simple.
Personally, I need more entertainment apps such as crunchyroll or netflix.

Seriously, I'm confused. What features does the Switch OS lack (aside from Online Party/Chats)? It seems to be fully functional to me...
None of the features under Knack need to be specifically there they can just as easily only show up if you press down on the D-Pad. The adverts for DLC, Season Passes and stuff you get for other games definitely don't need to be there. Essentially what I'm saying is that a UI with lots of features doesn't have to be cluttered.
The way it works now is when you highlight a square, it displays the trophy info below it. Pushing down on the dpad at that point opens up all the other stuff.
How would you know this until those features are implemented? You're wildly speculating. If Nintendo follows the same design philosophies currently present in the Switch, it should remain the cleanest console UI.
What's weird about your line of argument is the inconsistency: PS4 is clean with all its features, but Switch won't be clean when it gets all its features. Huh?
If Switch eventually got things like achievements, video clips (dvr), fully integrated friend system, etc., I'd be very curious to see how clean it would end up being. I think they'd do a good job with it but there's a lot of stuff they'd have to tie together.

LOL at people saying switch, yeah 2 games will not clutter UI. There is no browser or steaming apps or any friends apps. People gotta justify there purchase i suppose
I really need to get a Switch. I hate that I'm so unaware of what it offers still. Is the friend system like the other consoles where you can see who is online and send messages back and forth, etc.?Video capture is coming and will probably be part of the album. Friends lists already exists and is in the top left under your profile.

Honestly that looks terrible, might be functional though.Depends on how you organise it. This is how I have my PS4 setup.

But Sony, for the love of god let met change the colour of the tiles with the next update. That stuff drives me crazy.
Now this is the opposite of clean, pure mess on all accounts.I love my Switch, but there's no denying its UI is simple due to a paring back of features.
Notice that the PS4 UI is essentially the same, but with added features and information. I agree that the Switch has an overall more appealing look, but those features and most of the information provided in the PS4 simply isn't available at all on the Switch.

Because games and apps have icons which will clutter the home screen. Give Nintendo time to push ads and stuff plus features will be added and need entry's, it's too early to vote it a clean UI.these posts are quite odd lol
how is the stuff you listed going to make the UI less clean?

If we are going this route the surely the SNES had the cleanest UI
The ops question is Which console's home screen has been the most clean and least cluttered? And people are voting a console that has been out 3 weeks it's fucking rediculous, half the forum is switch this switch that it's sad tbh. If Nintendo had a dick y'all would be suckin it.Too early? It can't be the cleanest because of the hypothetical situation you just described? Now we're gotta predict the future on gaf?

Jeez. What did Nintendo do to you?The ops question is Which console's home screen has been the most clean and least cluttered?

Made another half assed gimmicky under powered console. I have nothing against Nintendo just wished they made a fully fledged console and I'm sick of every thread going switch or Zelda route.Jeez. What did Nintendo do to you?
