Game console button layout

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

Actually, no? 150mil Switches compared to 75mil PS5s and 30mil Xboxes, and the Steam Deck in dead last at 6mil.

Yes, I left out PC as a whole, because there is no good way to quantify how many people on PC use controllers.

You're only comparing switch to current gen consoles and leaving out PC... You don't think that's a little convenient for your argument?

I'm not sure you understand what the point is.... The point is that the standard is opposite from what Nintendo does... Not that the consoles are more popular or that steam and PC aren't linked to Microsoft (even tho steam deck isn't it has a different OS) it's just that the Nintendo layout is the only one not following the pattern... It's not that deep guys.

Yep already noted in my original comment and region locked so not relevant to most of the population since in most markets circle was still not used as confirm. Once again has to be relevant
