      Just to make controller layouts more confusing:

      The PlayStation buttons were designed as:

      ⭕ = YES ❌ = NO

      But Notth American gamers were used to these options being in the other position so the function the buttons were designed for is backwards on a lot of games.

        Where did they get used to them being in the opposite position? Nintendo was using down button for no and right button for yes on the SNES, and Xbox wasn’t around yet.

      To be fair, the commenter to whom you’re responding might have been engaging in hyperbole.

      Maybe not. Just a theory. (But I was similarly confused)
