So not only did they force western players to use that awful layout since the PS1, they've finally decided to subject Japanese gamers to it as well

Nintendo has it right, and for Sony's shapes it LITERALLY contradicts the meaning of them to have Cricle be "wrong" and X be "right".

Sony Interactive Entertainment headquarters have been in California for a while now

It's where their new censorship standards came from

the SNES only made B jump and Y attack, which is the same basic setup as the NES (with the jump button being on the right, with attack on the left)

of course, then the Xbox came along and really fucked things up...

By the way this isn't a big deal at all.

Before the PS3 gen, Circle wasn't even back. Triangle was. And American gamers got used to Circle becoming back very quickly.

I dont know why so many people are missing the thread here. Its not about whether the Xbox style or Nintendo style is correct.

Its that, in Japan, its been the Nintendo style for PlayStation for 20 years, and now theyre forcing the Xbox style on an entire market that has decades of muscle memory, for literally no reason, because they can. Because theyre arrogant, and because Sony California wants to everything to

so?

What the fuck. Circle should be confirm, and cross should be cancel. That will always make more sense.

It's not "the Xbox style" xbox copied what Sony did in America.

Sony was the first company to use that scheme. It was stupid when they swapped it for America but not Japan and even more stupid that they're changing it in Japan after 20 years.

On one hand it's stupid to change it after all this time. On the other hand it isn't a big deal. I don't burst into tears each time I play FFVII and have to use O to confirm instead of X

Huh. I will never understand why the buttons were even swapped for us to begin with, though along with this it seems like it's been screwing with japan ever since; seemingly some western games when they get localized don't get the x and o buttons "reswapped" which means they end up reversed in that case anyways...

When I got a Switch Pro Controller and the confirm button was mapped to the Dualshock equivalence of the O button, my entire world changed for the better at the realization of what could be, and then I fell into a deep depression at the realization of what is the very next time I played a PS4 game.
