I'm very guilty of this. I'm an old man set in my ways. (startrek.website)

I hate that Xbox stole the buttons from Nintendo and then swapped them over just to fuck with me more.

Between Sony, MS, Nintendo and Gamecube Nintendo, the X button can be in four different places.

They didn't steal it from Nintendo. It was a carryover from their collaboration with Sega on the Dreamcast. [link] (https://news.microsoft.com/1998/05/21/microsoft-sega-collaborate-on-dreamcast-the-ultimate-home-video-game-system/)

RIP Sega

Well, SNES had YXBA first I guess. But I forgot that Sega also evolved from 12 to ABC to XYZABC, back to XYAB.

It's weird watching these controller layouts come in and change over time, and then Sony just go "no, like this" and suddenly that's the standard. DualShock really was a great design and a massive improvement for anyone with adult sized hands.
