Controls

Ok, In most Play station games, the selecting button is X, the bottom one of the four.

On the DS, however, the select button is usually A, the right button of the four.

The buttons on the playstation control and the DS control have the same design, so does anyone else find it wierd that we dont use the bottom button for the DS or the right button for the Playstation?

 

The placement is the same but the design is obviously not the same. The buttons are the way they are because companies keep their button schemes generally the same. Nintendo has the A on the right and the B to the left of it because that's just how its been since the nes controller. Same goes for for Sony and the X being on the bottom. It'd be stupid if all controllers were the same.

 

I always found it perfectly natural, as they are by different companies, I don't actually have a prefered control scheme, but when it comes to favourite controller, the ps2 and the gamecube control are my faves... The Ps2, because the buttons all have a good placement and so do the analogue sticks and the d-pad, but I love the gamecube control, because it is just so damn comfortable, and the buttons are, and DON'T go limp, even after merciless button mashing. But, then again, any controller is better than the clunky X-Box controller, which I find the only thing good about it is, that it is so big, that if you throw it, it is the least likely to smash. xD
