The whole idea of console makers agreeing on where buttons go is unnecessary. They would only need to agree on the number, where they are could be up to the manufacturers and all games could be like PC games where players can custom map the controls. Or if devs are to lazy the OS of the console could remamp buttons in the settings, even save configuations by game.
Yet, I see the idea as silly and financially stupid. Such a choice would only be a race to the bottom. Just look at the PC world many vendors are just scraping by because in order to get their systems, wich, thanks to the unified configurations and OS, are pretty much all the same, sold they have to sell at very small profit margins.
