Which makes more sense?

Which makes more sense?

Neither. It's arbitrary either way.

This one.

It doesn't matter much unless you are playing a fighting game and even then you can get used to both.

...

Xbox,
X button on the X axis
Y button on the Y axis

I think putting the first buttons on the right makes more sense because your thumb approaches the buttons from the right side.

I prefer the Nintendo one, but is not fact-based, I just grown with it and I'm used to that

Xbox makes more sense for western consoles, nintendo makes more sense for eastern consoles.

You subconsciously want to order the buttons in the direction you read them.

This
Almost every PC game I've been playing has the upper option and it cannot be changed

This.
QTEs on any non-Nintendo system fuck me the fuck up. Anyone accustomed to the PSX or Xbox layout is a good way to spot an underage.

right makes sense to japs (japs read right to left)
left makes sense to westerners (westerners read left to right)

Right makes more sense because you start counting from your thumb

Nintendo because I've been playing their systems longer, but I've been getting accustomed to the Xbox layout since that's the go-to controller for PC games

I can get used to either in three seconds.

N64 and GameCube has me feeling X is confirm and square is cancel

This is one rule I must remember.
I before E except after C
Or when sounded like A as in Neighbor and Weigh.
Words ending in I, E
Drop the E and change the I to Y before adding
I-N-G.
I before E except after C
Let's see:
I before E except after H,
No, I after E After C –
I before E after -
No, E before I after C!
When a word has a C for an ending,
Like Frolic,
Or Colic?
Or Comic, and Mimic, and Picnic,
You always add a K before appending!
Huh?
You know, sticking an E or I or Y –
Oh sure!
For example – Colicky, Frolicker, Picnicker, Mimicker!
And Hickory Dickory Docker!
On the other hand, if suffix is maintained (page 43),
Then E must be retained after C!
You mean before the ending able?
Right! That keeps the spelling stable!

...Y
B....X
...A
is the patrician layout

Norman human beings read from left to right, so XY AB makes more sense.

>liking x to cancel
End yourself

Why in the hell would X be the accept button?

Because.

>that gif
Back to plebbit

O should be accept but X's position is more ergonomically pleasing to press than O

This isn't a problem if you aren't mentally retarded and are a true patrician and play on XBox. A is confirm or accept, B is cancel or back.

If the first set is AB why isn't the second YZ?

You could say it's representing the axes but they're not always in the same spots on controllers.

Think math variables, not axes. A and B, X and Y are very common arbitrary labels.

If you're switching from the 6-button ABCXYZ layout to a 4-button layout, then it makes more sense to chop off the C and Z.

Z is more common than A or B in applied areas of mathematics, while using greek letters alphabetically is more common in pure areas.

I don't play video games.

I don't see anything wrong with either.

This, y and x are still on the right axis, and the B&A layout is the same as N64.

no it doesn't, it makes some kind of z shape from 1 to 4 instead of a revolution

Analog sticks with click function
3 buttons in the quadrant that your thumb rests on reaching to the sticks (often approximately the 270-360 quad for right, 180-270 for left), two shoulder buttons plus bumpers which each act as a function key.

A/B of the SNES, X/Y of the Xbox.

I'm fine with both.

Nintendo because it was the original and the other two are shameless copies with no improvement.

If anything, green and red colors on Xbox makes the most sense, since A is used for confirm and B is used for deny.

I can instantly tell a game is going to be weebshit if they use O to confirm.
