    The only layout I hate is Nintendos. At least with Xbox and PlayStation it’s:
    A = X.
    B = O.
    Y = Triangle
    X = Square

    With Nintendo, they turn it all slightly and I absolutely hate it. It’s the only one that I have to retrain my brain/coordination for. When I play a Nintendo game through emulation (fuck Nintendo), I notice immediately when the controls didn’t properly migrate from my other games because now all of the sudden A is going back a menu. -.-

      No they didn’t - it’s the same sequence.

      A = circle (1 line )

      B = cross (2 lines)

      X = triangle (3 lines)

      Y = square (4 lines)

      Xbox broke with convention.

        That’s your preference. A vast majority of people prefer the Xbox/PS layout. Both are fine. I hate the Nintendo one either way.

          No it’s not, it’s literally what the PlayStation symbols are. Xbox is the odd one out. And I never started a preference…

      To be fair, they used that setup first. And PS originally copied it, but for some reason switched the functions of X and O in the West. In Japan, those symbols O often used for agree/correct/confirm and vice versa for X. It is weird that X became confirm here .

        I don’t see it that way. I see south button means confirm, East means No. I get people grew up with the old Nintendo way, but for most people, where they are on the Xbox/PS layout is just better ergonomically.
