On older consoles (X360, at least), that screen served two purposes:
- prompt the user to pick a location for their saved game (the console supported saves on the internal HDD, over USB, and later featured cloud saves)
- prompt the user to pick their local profile
For online-connected games, it also provides a "safe" spot to land if there are connection issues, which are very common nowadays (many games have online components and will drop the connection if put into sleep mode).
