Three of them are letters, so x applied. Playstation are symbols, so square, triangle, circle and cross.

Ackchyually, that's a key on the keyboard, not a button.

YarnsNbarns
Interesting fact: I did tech requirements testing on games and my group did Sony related stuff. Officially it is called the "Cross" button.
loyboys215
The X in Japan is meant to be No, & O is yes, so if you play a japanese port& go "Why the fuck is the bottom button (X/B/A) back?" Thats why
SenOfFiveTails
This always gets me the first time I pick up MGS1 after a long time not playing it. Always forget at first in the menu.
YosterIsle
According to Sony, it's not called the X button, it's called the Cross. Stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.

and the A button, i mean it could be the triangle
Fancydino
This is why PlayStation started to call it "cross"

apparently its actually called fork /a/ZuxwIHs

This makes me furious.

What the fork?

I love a good fork.
WheresYourSister
X is shorter to say therefore its what i will continue saying.
GingerLaird
Efficiency is key. *Beep Boop*
Darthmuchacho
Why let off less than you know lmao
SacrificialClam
But both of them are literally one syllable.
WheresYourSister
You make significantly more noises with your mouth to pronounce the word cross than you do X
blueyhonda
You’ll have to pry my controller from my cold dead hands before I call it a ‘cross’ button.
HammerParty13
Agreed
Anonmus
Fuck u bud
Hoparistic
Thank you, I didn't want to click on all the clickbait on Facebook to figure out what it was
KBXCN
Even the creators can be wrong.
Efreeti
The reason is Japan.◯ signifies correct / proceed, ╳ signifies incorrect / return.That's why many JRPGs use ◯ to confirm and ╳ to exit menus
papalongshlong
That’s so weird that they did that while we stuck to blue or green meaning “good/go” and red meaning “stop/back”
middlehead
The other three buttons are shapes. Anyone who honestly thought it was a letter is dragging down the average IQ.
KBXCN
All letters are shapes, too. 'Murca run no dun dun.
HarryBeauner
Right because most crosses are symmetrical and are 45° off of an x,y axis. Definitely not an X.
MERGATROYDER
But they’re not. A cross becomes a square when a line is drawn from each end to the other. An X does not.
Ireallylikepuzzles
I agree with you... but with that logic the ps one is indeed a cross just rotated
Badprenup
That... That is what they are saying
HarryBeauner
Yes because when most people think of a cross they immediately think of two lines intersecting perpendicularly on a 45° tilt. X... psssh...
MERGATROYDER
They do if they paid enough attention in elementary school.
KBXCN
A cross is two lines. An X is two lines. They were made for each-other.
patrickleodesign
Creators?
Hyero
Sony calls it the Cross button. Everyone disagrees and calls it X.
patrickleodesign
I know, but I wouldn't call them the creators of an X button. I guess they are the creators of a "cross" button, though.
KBXCN
Creators [of the controller.]

I say imjur. what do you guys says?
smashpro1
Imgur.
WhiteCollarOfficeJobs
I've always pronounced it phonetically as "Imm-gurr". The good part about using a site like this is you don't talk about it in real life, (1
WhiteCollarOfficeJobs
so you don't have people telling you you're wrong. (2/2)
zigbigidorlu
It's imaj-ur. Image er. Img is the short for "image" in HTML.
Nerfection
It's imager without the 'a', and therefore imjur.

JLaP01001
Go play Spyro 1. “Press the X button at the top of your jump.”
TroyDowling
Huh. I still read it as cross. It's always been "X" for SNES and Xbox and cross for PlayStation.
BarryAllensSole
But if its called the cross symbol, and you know that, you'll still read that as "cross" and not "x" in that sentence.
JLaP01001
The Dragon literally says “X” Spyro is fully voice acted.
BarryAllensSole
Interesting. The game messed it up then lol. Even PlayStation came out and said its the cross symbol, not the x symbol.
bigfatdan1
Cross, Sun, Box and Pyramid. :P
GravyEducation
This is a cross: +. This is an x: x. I get that gamers tilt their heads when concentrating but what angle are you looking at that pad
DigiT00l
The letter X is litterally called Cross in Japanese
icantgotoprisonroytheyllrapetheflipoutofme
Noughts and crosses. The defence rests.
CavalierNique
Your honour, I'd like to enter into the evidence: Math.
DeadlyFood
X is a cross too, just look at railroad crossing signs
GravyEducation
That is a fair point. But I also look at "Ped Xing" signs and read it as ped exxing
TheAziz
I was so confused the first time I saw it. "ped what now?"
PressMyButtonsBaby
CopperWench
Is it tho?
MirTheDragon
If it wasnt for playstation we could share so much more
ohmaigawdmayn
Sony has been funny since they said it's the 'cross' button, since circle square and x was not their plan. Call it whatever you want.
Dravit
I love my Crossbox One Cross.
almosteveryusernamewastaken
Can i call it Derrick?
NoOneKnowsImLying
Call it whatever you want, aside from Derrick.
Mirilali
Kevin it is!
dietderpsy
Original gaming PSX magazines called it cross, I was like nooooooo it's X.
MERGATROYDER
It’s always been cross though. Some games on nearly every generation on the PlayStation platform utilize that naming for the button.
witstevieuneverleavie
No, Sony’s is the shape of x, not the letter. Not only do they not cross play, they just refuse to be apart of anything.
TheAziz
Seems like the button is the only cross they allow
tooomanystevesgotbanned
THIS IS WHY I HAVE TRUST ISSUES
TicoGuy
I still a little miffed Stadia didn't go for button the X button in the one remain spot that is unclaimed among controllers.
inmediasrays
I don't care that the xs are in different places I just wish the DO THING and the DONT THING buttons were same place. Lookin at you, switch
mondeca
"The button Nintendo insists is A."
lowkeylives
Hey, Nintendo set up their A and B first! Show respect
TotemPoleOfVisualNoise
I think that's a Japanese thing. I remember playing a Japanese port (mhp3) on psp and the "do thing" was on O and "don't thing" was on x
exarkun00720
That is one of the hardest things for me when playing the Switch. Xbox/Pc/PS4 names may change but controller layout doesn’t, then hops the
exarkun00720
switch and they are like “yes the same layout, just make them all different things”. If I switch from console to console it always takes
exarkun00720
far longer than I wanna admit to get readjusted. I just settle I must beat the game on console a before going to the switch.

TeamRocketBlastOffAtTheSpeedOfLightSurrenderNowOrPrepareToFight
And the switch buttons are the exact same as xbox but the exact mirror. Its so hard to swap between!

Yeah I've just gotten a switch, and coming off the Xbox. The struggle is real

Some older games use X to walk backwards instead of S, gets really annoying when they don't let you re-map them

It's the default key for sprinting in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for some ungodly reason.
MrSaturday
Damn, a horror game truly ahead of it's time.
BluePaladin42
It's still what I think of as the jump button, even though I don't think most FPS's nowadays map jump to X anymore.
Troldann
Dark Forces was first shooter I played with jump, default bound X. I stuck with that until last year or two. Finally went Space.

X is always my "heal" key...
Xaixar
In some first person games it's used as crouch/prone.
Osthyvel
Crouch is often ctrl, prone is probably x but I always remap every game anyway since all developers feel the need to reinvent the keymapping
wargames
C is crouch and will be remapped as so, ctrl is voice comms button
imgur1stTheory
Also it is the X key not the X button.

I like to rebind jump in FPS/3PS games to X. Space is more of a quick melee key to me for games that have that.
PolyethyleneSir
You rebind space to NOT be jump? That's... practically sociopathy...
Troldann
First shooter I played with jump (Dark Forces) had Space bound to Use and X bound to Jump. I’ve only changed off of that in the last year.
CometLaHal
nah lol melee is f thanks to doom proving it so
