When the PlayStation 5 releases this November, it is going to do with a model new controller that bucks the DualShock naming conference. And it is going to additionally make a significant change to the controller’s buttons, or extra particularly the operate of the buttons. When the console releases subsequent month in Japan, Sony has confirmed the the “O” button will now not be the confirmed button, relatively the “X” button.
As you might know, this has been the case in North America, Europe, and different areas for some time, nonetheless, in Japan the affirm button has been the “O” button up till now. At the second, it is unclear why Sony is making the change, however it will be one that may require plenty of deprogramming for Japanese players. Since the PS1, the “O” button has been the affirm button, and that is the case with another controllers as effectively.

Most Japanese games that come to western markets lately are localized for western controls. In different phrases, the distinction has by no means actually been a barrier in relation to localization.
If Sony does present an official rationalization on why it is made this modification, we are going to remember to replace the story with no matter is offered.
