It isn’t, no. Windows PC games almost universally have the Xbox button names by default (because Microsoft), and I’m not sure, but I think that Nintendo systems have the same ones but placed differently?
Either way, the PlayStation ones are not the universal default by any stretch of the imagination.
Nintendo flips A and B. It is one of the most minor, yet frustrating, swaps. So many times intending to hit “confirm” only to forget which layout I’m on and cancel/repeat dialogue.
Maybe it is for console players, but my sole real exposure to controllers was the deck, and the button naming scheme is extremely confusing to me. Especially compared to the name of keyboard buttons (where press G is much more clear even if you’re not familiar with keyboards)
I don’t think this is true at all

Yeah I know that. But in my peer group of thirty-something gaming enthusiast we are all used to the PS1 button setup.

The Nintendo layout is the original. Xbox flipped A and B and X and Y.
