This always kills me lol. And a preface, yes I am a Nintendo fan🤷🏾♂️ but, NES came out before XBox so it is the Xbox that's has it backwards lol that is all
@@TheLongStroke nah. Xbox had the face buttons standard since day one. Look at how many years it took nintendo to have a standardized 4 face button layout (we are not even sure if they’re gonna stick with it). Plus, it’s not about who did it first or who had it backwards, it’s about consistency. Look at how each controller from each company evolved, and recognize why people associate xbox to have the standard layout and Nintendo to have the backwards one. It took them to release the wii’s classic controller before even locking down on the standardized four face button layout from sony and microsoft.
@jamesd.c.4810 ummm the SNES came out when?🤔 The the N64 is where Nintendo was trying out what would eventually become the standardized second analog stick with the c buttons. Then GameCube went right back to the four button layout. The comment was about Nintendo having the a b backwards, but as I've already stated Nintendo has them right where they've been since they came into existence so it's Xbox that have them backwards. People assume Xbox and Sony are the standard because they follow the graphics race that Nintendo dropped out of. To sum it up, Nintendo has had how many consoles. Every one of them has had the same 'standard' button layout save for the N64(don't forget the handhelds that also had the same layout) and your argument is consistency? You tried I guess 🤷🏾♂️
@@TheLongStroke Yeah. You look at the Nintendo face buttons and say to yourself that they standardized them. Just look at their layout and how different they are every console. It's not that hard to see unless you are just being a big fantard. Up, down, left, and right with the same markings, that's how Sony and Microsoft standardized the four face button layout. Nintendo bent their knee and stopped being stupid about their stupid controllers because the Gamecube controller had such an awkward positioning when combining some button prompts for some games. I guess you are just too much of a fantard to see.
@@jamesd.c.4810 the buttons on the gamecube were a,b,x,y.... Google a picture of it and look at the placement🤦🏾♂️ you can't 'bend the kneec by doing what you e been doing all along. In Japan you read Right to left here in America we read left to right Microsoft, an American company went with a,b. Nintendo, a Japanese company, went with b,a. I'm an American so when I write of course I'm going to write a,b . Video games are not based off of language however, the 'a' has been positioned on the outside since 1987, until Microsoft switched the order in 2001. So, 14 years of button positioning goes out the window...... Once again as I've stated Nintendo doesn't have it backwards as they are the industry standard setters, it's Microsoft that has it backwards. Lmmfao, the alphabet heh, what comes first in the alphabet x or o lol you get an 'E' for effort I guess and I won't even deduct points for the insults 🤷🏾♂️
@@TheLongStroke wow. Nintendo really set a standard with the SNES that when they released their next home console, it had a different face button layout and number. Then the competition is so heated as ever with Sony and the new kid XBOX that they have to come crawling back to the four face button layout but just have to make it weird for the sake of being different. A central button and two curved beans in a semicircular layout above the central button and then a final small red button at the bottom left of the big green central button. Truly standardized that no one, not even them, used this layout again. Then tried to be weird again with the standard Wii controller, because as you've said, they standardized the four face button layout except the N64 right? Then just completely stopped being weird with it and just had the now standardized four face button layout after the Wii. Here let me make it simple for you to understand: Nintendo started it, maybe even pioneered it, but they never standardized it. 1995-present time Sony had the same four face button layout, 2001 (kinda)-present time Xbox had the same face button layout. Nintendo? 1991 SNES, 2004 DS (all subsequent iterations), 2006 Wii classic controller (2009 Pro), 2011 3DS (all subsequent iterations), 2012 Wii U, 2013 2DS (all subsequent iterations), 2017 Switch (all subsequent iterations). Nintendo can never claim they standardized the four face button layout when it wasn't even a standard with their controllers for 13 years (19 for their standard home console controller) after they pioneered it. They were forced to adapt when the competition standardized what they started. That's why people will always see Sony and Microsoft as the standards when it comes to controllers, it's useable, functional, and consistent throughout the years, plain and simple. Never robbing Nintendo credit for starting it, but never crowning them for standardizing it. Much easier to see when you are not a fanboy of multi-billion dollar corporations.
