So which is it, Yea Forums? X or Cross?

The cross is not a traditional geometrical shape so it's often dismissed as it and gets called an 'X'

Why can't it be both?
Why do we have to autistically give a shit about nomenclature. so people call it X. So what? Language changes. names change. brand names become generic.

pointy, box, ex, oh.

People want something to argue about, that's about it

Good point. You also wouldn't say "cross marks the spot", you'd say ex

A cross is typically not angled to the side, that's an X. It's dumb because it's all about your angle of virwing but still, a + and an × are different in mathematics.

That's just a christfag mindset. It's the reason Japanese crossover games usually use an x like Streetfighter X Tekken. You are supposed to read it as cross as in it's a cross over.

>A cross is typically not angled to the side
Do you even naughts and crosses nigger?

We should just call it “multiply” then

It was intended to be O = Accept, X = Back like in the other platforms, and it was like that for Japanese games on the PS1 and PS2, somehow they decided to change it for the west and stuck to it.

Imagine how much could be changed if people argued for their beliefs instead of what to call a button on a controller.

Amen to proud of you Obi-Wan

A cross isn’t a shape it’s a symbol

Why not plus sign

In Ultima Online, before the overwhelming majority of you faggots were born, a crossbow was an xbow. Heavy crossbow was heavy xbow or hvyxbow.

There is no reason for a westerner to think the X on a PS controller is a "cross" except to be a turboweeb. Call it an X, no one gives a shit. Anyone who does is a faggot turboweeb who probably smells bad.

We'd have a shitload more wars and rioting. People want to argue about stupid shit they can forget about in 10 minutes instead of arguing about things that matter and feeling forced to literally fight for their beliefs, so let them.

Because it's tilted. It would be a multiplication sign, or an X

"χ"... A most ancient letter. Some say "kye," but the meaning is the same. Death... A letter that spells endings.

Look to the left and right of the X button on your controller. You see anything? If you do, you might want to check yourself into a facility. There's no reason to call it a cross because there's nothing to cross.

It's cross.

Never heard of it

...

I just call the circle one "ball". "Press the ball"

It has to be cross. Look how angry everyone is getting.

USA calls them exes because the Tic Tac Toe shapes are thought of exes and ohs.

And if you put an X through something, people might say "crossed out", but they'd never say "it has a cross over it", they'd say "it has an x over it".

In the US, X shapes are referred to as X. Not just in gaming, it's pretty universal. When somebody says "cross" here as a noun, it's almost always specifically referring to the religious symbol. We don't use cross as a noun to refer to anything else.

What are you, retarded? Of course you would call it a cross when it's a shape and call it a letter when it's a letter. That's why we call four-way intersections "crossroads" instead of "X-roads," because in that context, it's a shape and not a letter. That's why it's a Cross on a Dualshock and an X on a Duke. Are you autistic enough to not understand what context is?

What is this then you dense mother fucker.

cross isn't a shape, and crosses aren't angled like that. it's obviously X.

circle to confirm and x to deny is in no way consistent in Playstation games. A lot of them use X to confirm just because it's in the same position as Xbox's A.

X and O's Eurofag

You mean that's how they localized games from Japan, since there are several games where they changed the confirm button just for the West.

X as a shape is elongated at the top and bottom, it creates a rectangle.

Cross as a shape is the same length and width, it makes a perfect box.

In other words it's cross not X.

Be honest, was your first console a 360? I'm probably being generous here, it was probably an xbox one.

Amen.

It's a fabricated meme by playstation to get you talking about the brand and PS5, remember: memes are no longer about fun, they're about making money and free advertising to companies, only underage retards gobble them up like hot chips

>Box
>Cross
>Circle
>Triangle

If you call them anything different you're a retard and the people who encultured you to say it the way you do are even bigger retards.

It would also makes sense with the layout.
O being where A would be.
And X located where B is placed normaly

amen? more like I want lots of men

>Who gives a sideways fuck? You aren't confused about what button people mean when they say either, so it's entirely a pedantic issue.
You're in the wrong place if you wanted to avoid inane, pedantic, or generally retarded arguments

A cross is not a shape in the traditional sense, and more often than not will have an elongated segment like the religious cross. Never has anyone referred to X as "cross" until this stupid meme debate

Low IQ

"Cross" is for Brits who call tic tac toe "knots and crosses", in which case they should also call the O button the "knot button". The X shape is not a cross in general, crosses are straight up and down, not turned on their side by 45 degrees, and even then I'd call it a plus. An X shape is still a recognizable shape.

What if it's supposed to be balance of shapes and letters y'know? 2 Letters and 2 shapes.

i thought people were spelling knot wrong but i had to look up nought

and it means nothing, like its all for nought
a circle is empty/nothing

An X is an X, you can't say it's a cross.

Always grew up knowing you cross out the wrong answers and circle the correct ones. You don't "ecks" out the wrong answers, you cross them out. Also an X isn't perfectly even, it's narrow and tall. People arguing about this are just baiting.

counter to that is skull and cross bones

but even still using the word cross is incredibly uncommon unless theres context to it

hence why eveyone calls x, ex

amen nigger

Yeah I was vague. If the other shapes were shown an named then the answer would be cross.

It's X, it has always been X, everyone across the planet has called it X. This "cross" shit is retarded.

That's the funny thing about the English language, and the reason it's the language of science: It's good at describing things. We can get around hangups like this by simply switching from nouns to adjectives, to describe the differences between the Xs. Clockwise from top:
>white
