Wait is it the other way around?

It depends.

You see, with Nintendo games and controllers, it's always been A (right) to confirm and B (down) to cancel.
On Microsoft consoles, it's always been A (down) to confirm and B (right) to cancel.

With PlayStation though, they've had quite the rollercoaster ride. During the PS1 and PS2 days, it was usually X (down) to confirm and triangle (up) to cancel, however there were lots of games that used O (right) to confirm and X (down) to cancel in order to make it easier for people who were used to the Nintendo standard. At the beginning of the PS3 era, I think they had pretty much established X and triangle to confirm and cancel respectively, but after Microsoft's dominance in the early 7th gen, they switched it to its current format, which is X (down) to confirm and O (right) to cancel.


Excellent explanation! I think I can remember the Playstation controller now after your Nintendo comparison!
