When we talk about the controller bindings, we always refer to the playstation setup. Like if you tell "you have to push triangle, or R2", everybody seems to know which one it is, without looking or even thinking

    I don’t think this is true at all

    It isn't, no. Windows PC games almost universally have the Xbox button names by default (because Microsoft), and I'm not sure, but I think that Nintendo systems have the same ones but placed differently?

    Either way, the PlayStation ones are not the universal default by any stretch of the imagination.

    Maybe it is for console players, but my sole real exposure to controllers was the deck, and the button naming scheme is extremely confusing to me. Especially compared to the name of keyboard buttons (where press G is much more clear even if you're not familiar with keyboards)

    Fair, but in Japanese games circle is the confirm / ok button and X is the back / cancel button.. (I backed out of so many menus to trying to get used to this and then had to go through it again when I completed monster hunter and went back to playing regular PAL releases 😂)
