Sony (or, more specifically, Eric Lempel of Sony America) have told CVG that there will be no NXE-type overhaul of the XMB in the future. His main reason is that the XMB is an Emmy Award winning interface – people like it.

The man makes sense, we like the XMB, too. See the quotes after the break.

“What we find is that people really like our current interface. We did redesign the PlayStation Store last April to make some improvements, make it faster, make it better, and we’re always listening to consumers. But right now the XMB [XrossMediaBar] is an Emmy Award-winning interface and people like it. They’re very comfortable with it. So we’re not looking to do anything radical. We’ll still do some research behind the scenes and see what can we do to make things better, or how can we make it so consumers find content faster, but right now we’re pretty happy with it. No plans right now to do anything like what the competitor has done.”
