Jo MiranWhy does Nintendo use a backwards button layout?
becausechemistryA better question would be why Microsoft went with a nonstandard layout when they designed the Xbox controller. Nintendo had been using the A-to-the-right layout since 1990.

Playing with shape blocks without a care in the world
I wish I were them
They have funny shapes.
Playstation still basically conforms to a on the right, since O is generally used as a “confirm” button, and X is generally used as a back out button. So, they fill the same role as the conventional layout, they just abstract it in a kind of more fun way.
maxinstuffPlaystation games over the years have used X for confirm in many (western) regions. I’m not sure the origin of this but it was always that way growing up.
Localisations like Final Fantasy using circle were the exceptions to the rule.
Circle being confirm for everybody is a relatively recent thing
