I remember in Metal Gear Solid trying to confirm things with X and ending up lying down at critical moments

A concern indicated that we are worried that something might be a problem.
This isn't a concern because we know it's a problem, it just happens to not affect you.

If such a tiny thing is a problem, then you're probably living a perfect life, dear brother. Anyway, I'll leave it there.

Japan is like their third most important market these days, after America and Europe.

The issue is that there is no reason it even needs to be a tiny problem, they are making a problem where there doesn't need to be any.
having cancer doesn't make dropping your sphaghetti stop being annoying.
Kid's starving in korea doesn't make having nothing in the fridge a non issue.
But I'll leave it at that.

I wish they had done the opposite. I would not mind adapting.
They made circle as the ok button and cross as the "no" button. We could accept that. We could have even accepted that from the beginning

It'll be an adjustment for sure, but this is like when the American consoles went from Triangle to circle as the 'back/previous' button.

It’s an annoying change for the Japanese market and will cause confusion for many for sure. I’m certainly not for it, however there is one good thing about this. Some western games have had trouble working on Japanese systems due to the button confirm differences in the past. So much so that you could get stuck and unable to continue playing a game cause of it. Most recently Shenmue 1+2 had a qte that was broken cause of it making it virtually impossible to pass a certain story mission in the game. While it was eventually patched not too long before the Japanese release it was still an annoying thing for gamers like myself who import games to Japan.
wish they would keep it the same as always but if it means less issues in the future I can live with it.

Lmao living in South East Asia currently, and having lived and moved to NA, NZ, and HK - I've had to adjust many times.
It is an an annoyance, but hardly hard to adjust.
I'd say this is only just a real annoyance for those in Japan since its culturally related - to which I agree, wtf Sony.
Anyone outside is just making huffy noises as you'll just adjust in no time.

If you're using the accessibility options, wouldn't that change X and O buttons in games, too?

There it is.
The responses on page 1 really made me believe ResetEra has invaded this forum and now we're overrun by screaming headless chicken.
Concern trolls everywhere.

I always thought there was some story about it being accidentally flipped in the western devkit manuals. I tried Googling but couldn't find.
Anyway, Circle confirm always made more sense, both in terms of the shapes and the location of the A button on the SNES controller. Should've been kept that way.

Circle (maru) and x (batsu) are a thing there, being the equivalent of checkmark and x or correct vs wrong. It's the sort of thing you see IRL when teachers are grading tests etc.

Sony shouldn't have changed it in the first place 20 years ago. It was already in sync with the Nintendo button layout.

Still, it's not a problem at all, I mean most of us here are healthy and we're not disabled or have any other unfortunate difficulty to move our thumbs just 3-4cm to the other button. Too much drama, honestly.

Except in comparison split between PS and Xbox, America is actually its weakest market (even though PS is still more popular here too). It's just a huge market.

Unless Nintendo folds or takes over, these actions are meaningless. That is really the only controller that I have to think hard about pressing buttons.
Visually on the SNES It was presented as the right button, same as NES. Once that language went away, the bottom but has to be the primary one. All other buttons are its bitches, and the bottom button is home plate.
No other button can work in this way. The auxiliary buttons do not fan out to the left, nor are they under the Y or triangle as some secret cache of extra abilities. In summation, Sony is refusing to continue a mistake (I would support switching the symbols at the same time...), and Nintendo are fuckers.

Yeah that's honestly a good question. I remember controls in PS1 games being a bit of a free-for-all, with even different installments in the same series constantly shuffling what the face buttons did. Seems like Sony wasn't that interested in enforcing a standard at the time, so American devs may have just drifted towards positioning the action button as the bottom button rather than it having anything to do with O vs X specifically

Scratch that. Make that about a little over 3 million.
