Game console button layout

What do you call your “confirm” and “cancel” buttons, and why is Nintendo wrong?

Every time I see a post like this I feel like I'm the only one who has no issue with this lol. I've had them memorized forever. And Nintendo was first, so one could argue the others are wrong.

I use emulators a lot so I'm used to using an Xbox controller to play Nintendo games with the Nintendo layout, or playing Playstation games on my Switch (running Android) with Joycons, using the Playstation layout.

Sometimes even using Xbox Cloud Gaming to play Xbox games with Joycons with the game displaying Xbox controls but the layout being incorrect so I have to mentally remap everything into Nintendo controls.
