other way around. the xbox was five years after the playstation, and used A for confirm, like nintendo's consoles. the snes has A on the right, so the PS has O on the right. but when they released in europe, they chose to use X for confirm, which is on the bottom. so the xbox has A on the bottom.
Thanks! Guess the stuff I read 20+ years ago got a little jumbled in long-term storage.
it happens. it's not one of those things that's important to keep around.
This. And as far as I know, PS still has that split between Japan and international release. It's probably been about a decade, but the last time I played an import JP PS game, O was still confirm, X was still cancel.
Yep! The PS5 was the first console to standardise X as confirm in all regions. Can't say whether the game devs followed suit, though I'd imagine Sony has some licensing clause to force compliance on that.
