PlayStation 5 is Switching Around Controller Buttons

The upcoming release of the PlayStation 5 is changing things around on its controller, swapping the functions of the X and O buttons. This will be streamlined so configurations will be the same worldwide.

In Japan, PlayStation controllers have used the X buttons to cancel and the O buttons to confirm. Western gamers have had the opposite, X to confirm, O to cancel up to this point. The new PlayStation model will revert back to how the controllers are used in Japan.

Fans are not excited about the change in controllers, claiming that this will make their gaming experience more confusing.

The PlayStation 5 will be released in November.

Do you think Sony should have changed the button functions? Are you going to be getting the new PlayStation?
