Hello all, I have found some screenshots of the Xbox Interface. It seems to completely remove all traces of the mouse.
First of all, here is the main menu:
As clear by the picture, LB and RB move the main selection left and right, A selects, and B cancels. I am guessing that D-Pad up/down will move the selection up/down. It's also possible the Right Analog Stick could.
Next, we have the button layout, and the skills they are set to:
I am not very experienced with NW still, so I do not know what these skills are, or even what class. If you do, please give me a list of what skill is what button, and I'll add them here. I am sure they are rearrangeable, but I could not find exactly to what degree they are.
Here is the Inventory Menu:
As you can see, it looks easy to navigate with the removal of the Mouse controls entirely. The D-Pad controls which item you select, with the currently selected one highlighted, with the Tooltip to the side.
RT/LT change bags, and RB/LB change to your character, journal, and other menus. All menus are controlled by the D-Pad, with the selection highlighted.
Here it can be seen that cast-off spells are handled the same as PC
(I am limited to 4 images in one thread, so it's a hotlink instead):

You use the Right Analog Stick to control that casting circle, and Left Analog Stick still moves you while doing it.
Lastly: The HP, Mana, Energy, all bars really are moved to the top left, similar to Dragon Age: Inquisition and many other console RPG's:http://s7.postimg.org/bxa4ed2u3/nvpic.png
If you have anything to add about the UI that I couldn't find, please let me know. I'll add it to this post.

I'd really prefer it not, as the Beta isn't until Feb 5th, only lasts 3 days, and it's still unknown who or how many people are even in it. They might only invite 500 people, we just don't know.
Once there is a Open Beta that anyone with XBL Gold can join, then it'd make more sense to move it there in my opinion.
EDIT: Added this fact to the main post, albeit in hotlink form due to the limit of 4 images per post.
Good point, I actually did not notice that. It's possible there is an option to turn it off (like there is on PC), and that whoever's playing just turned it off. At least, I'm HOPING that's the case. Not having a mini-map in a huge RPG would be quite bad.
