It took me years to realize after starting PC gaming in earnest that RB and RT stand for 'R-Button' and 'R-Trigger'. Thought they were 'Top' and 'Bottom', though that only makes sense if you flip the controller towards you as if to look at the buttons directly. Even the labels on the buttons are usually right side up when you do that.

This would be a good reasoning if the button that use to be the start button did still have more potential uses where it won't be doing whatever it is called now. Nintendo was the only one that had the sense to just make it a generic button with an easy to recognize symbol.

Back in the early NES games, select would literally cycle the cursor through menu options.

I agree that select was never a great name for the button, and that was a really shitty function of the button, but it's nice have an extra button that can also open submenus or act as functions in game that aren't too common enough to take up real estate from main face buttons

All Sony had to do was make the PS button multipurpose for it. They could have simply done

> Tap - Go to OS
> Hold - Open the ingame menu
> Double-tap - Take screenshot/clip
Or did modifier combos that involve holding the button, like they already do for the Accessibility Zoom feature.

I actually think it was a reasonable change to make. The Start button did literally the opposite, it paused. Menu buttons are ubiquitous in the modern age, represented by the 3 lines otherwise known as the burger/ menu icon. Pressing the button will open menu in-game (and may or may not pause the game, because you're in a menu, which is likely the primary reason you hit the button rather than wanting to pause). It also has functions outside of games where it would open menus rather than pause.

Select also didn't make any sense.

Yes I'll still possibly refer to the button as the Start button regardless.

Why did they switch the X/O button functionality between regions? The Japanese one is correct, though it would have made more sense at least to maybe change the colors on the buttons around rather than reversing the functionality. It also aligned with the Nintendo standard layout.

You're taking out of your ass.
Nintendo have done away with select since the N64 and adopted the plus and minus since the Wii. Xbox never had select in the first place and replaced the both start and "back" with abstract symbols starting with the Xbone. Sony's controller inertia pre-DS4 was the only thing keeping those terms alive.

Because "Start" has to be localised into comenzar, शुरू, 始める and more.
Meanwhile, the burger button is just three horizontal lines. It doesn't need to be translated.

Genesis' A button was at the bottom and Americans preferred platformers to JRPGS so B was the SNES' de facto main button for them. Sony would rather not try to force change with their debut console and lose the North American market so they changed their system instead. There's also nothing inherently "correct" about the Japanese scheme.

Carry over from the GBA they didn't feel like changing, and that didn't do nearly as much to keep the buttons in the public consciousness as the DualShock line did.
Either way, it wasn't some nonexistent patent troll that killed those either, but the Switch using the home console icons for consistency.
