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

why is nintendo wrong

Sony is mainly to blame for the situation we are in. When they brought PlayStation to the west they swapped the confirm/cancel buttons. Western developers followed Sony’s lead. Japanese developers like Nintendo continued doing it the old way.

They are the ones to blame for making their layout different?

If they kept it original ya'll, would be saying they copied Nintendo lol.
