If xbox is gone, there's at least a chance we can finally bury the abxy vs bayx thing.
Since when is Xbox gone? Microsoft would be silly to kill off their console, they’d lose a pretty significant chunk of Game Pass subscribers. The rumors point to a
hybrid PC/console, but it’s still an Xbox.Of course, Microsoft making foolish decisions would be nothing new.

I forget if I ever shared this thing I made back in the day.
Interestingly, the Playstation one officially isn't the letter X, it's "Cross" according to Sony. But pretty much no one ever actually uses that name.

Just have left x, upper x, right x and lower x. That way there's no confusion possible.

What I got is that they're trying to move to OEMs, like windows PCs. Either way, switching to a PC platform seems doomed, because who would choose that when Steam exists.

They want to integrate Steam with the console, from the rumors I saw. They’ve already integrated Steam into the Xbox app on PC, as I understand it.
More flexibility is a good thing. Console Game Pass and Steam on the same system? Yes please.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Sony (via PS5) also finally standardized X Accept and O Back globally. It was backwards in Japan because X meant No and O meant Yes.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]The Microsoft layout being the standard messes me up every time. The SNES layout was seared into my brain 34 years ago. Sony's is different enough that I don't get confused.

Well actually, so do I. Uh, kill PC gaming, then..?
Make it standard to choose button prompts in every game. It's really not asking much.

After all these years. Finally, I have them all.

I find myself having to use my Switch pro controller when playing Wii U games on PC, because if I use my Xbox controller I get fucked up on button locations. But somehow holding the slightly different controller shape and button size makes my muscle memory switch for it cleanly.

It's not asking much, but knowing game companies, it's still asking too much. But that wouldn't fix it anyway.

Not enough X
Fixed, see my reply to salvaria's comment.

I remember on the ps2 it was just as common to use triangle as the "back" button

That makes a lot of sense. They just decided "screw it. Westerns read backwards so like yeah probably everything else is backwards too?"

Never mind that abxy business what the hell happened to Start and Select!?
I know those buttons no longer do what theyre named after, but neither does rewinding a video or hanging up a phone.

Gamecube controllers had X on the right, if you're looking to fill in your graphic
That layout look pretty good ngl

R and L need to be swapped. Right is on the left side and Left is on the right side!

My mom plays PS1 games on RetroArch with an El Cheapo Bluetooth gamepad that has the Xbox layout. I have to explain the controls to her every time "Press X" or some such comes on the screen

wrote on last edited by [email protected]TIC-80 has support for gamepads and keyboard. Some games say "Press X" as in the X button on the gamepad, while others refer to the
Xkey on the keyboard which in the default mappings send the B button input.It has caused lots of confusion

Steam Deck buttons are Xbox layout.
Better than the old days of "Press 3," or worse- having to map keys to joystick buttons in the config of everything
But SteamOS (UI) itself lets you configure it. It even has controller-agnostic button prompts, kind of similar to Breath of the Wild's where it shows you each button and highlights the one you should press. If I was at home, I'd share a picture of it.
