This is something quite interesting. You would think that Sony would have hired a group of people to design the perfect interface that they would use for many of their products. Turns out, not it was actually all done by one person. Clever little guy, isn't he?

It’s true, apparently. The entire PSP and PS3 XMB interface, otherwise known as the Xross Media Bar, was made a reality by a single person — Japanese-based UI artist Yasuhiro Yamanaka, according to the man’s LinkedIn profile. In it, he claims he “designed PSP and PS3 User Interface all by myself.” Yamanaka is also in charge of all on-screen localization, meaning all those dialogue pop-ups and menu item descriptors were written by him.
