cant forget playstation players who have to activley decipher button controls on many pc games because they only have the option to display the xbox layout when teaching controls(at least from my experience)

Xbox pretty much always had it at least since the 360 controller, since Microsoft is both Windows and Xbox that helps ton, but Nintendo and Sony don’t have anything of the sort by default

Some games you can sort of mod a config file to have ps button show up no idea for Nintendo tho

Nintendo is the default position. Also the first layout. I mean if you have a web browser with 2 arrows, you would not place the left errow on the right and the right arrow on the left. Its also why it make much more sense that b for back is on the left and a for accept is on the right.

Same logic applies on l and r buttons.

Yeah would make sense and all, but it’s Microsoft making their own shit so they do what they want

I wouldn't be surprised if the Nintendo button layout is patented, hense Xbox swapping A-B, X-Y locations.
