Why is it that Nintendo has their buttons as
X
Y A
B
but Microsoft uses
Y
X B
A
?
It seems like an inconvenient way of doing things that just results in muscle memory mixups. And Sony's no better just because they don't use letters; Playstation games aren't even consistent on which of O or X is accept or cancel!
@Rosemary the lack of consistency is down to patents and trademarks, iirc. Certainly the Sony shapes are a trademark, whilst the SNES pad button arrangements were patented.
