A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.
I didn't know there was a standard. I didn't play MANY Playstation games, but it seems like the ones I did, it could be either/or so I just figured out what was what beforehand.

tap my mountain posted:

I think it's because they wanted to establish that PlayStation wasn't a kiddy console and having X as the main button was more extreme. Same reason why it's abbreviated to PSX

Also why the XBox 1 will soon just be the XBoxX
