      Playstation still basically conforms to a on the right, since O is generally used as a “confirm” button, and X is generally used as a back out button. So, they fill the same role as the conventional layout, they just abstract it in a kind of more fun way.

        Playstation games over the years have used X for confirm in many (western) regions. I’m not sure the origin of this but it was always that way growing up.

        Circle was used in Japan. Localisations like Final Fantasy using circle were the exceptions to the rule (I guess it was too hard to change it?)

        X being confirm for everybody is a relatively recent thing
