It was always called "Cross" since the PS1 days.
Only Xbums, Nintendicksuckers and zoomers who never owned a PlayStation in their life and had no cool friends with a PlayStation, assumed it's named after a letter.
The PS buttons represent geometry shapes, not letters. If you call it "X" you are subhuman.

Remember all the times you were a child and making pirate treasure maps with your friends and you said "cross marks the spot"
here is a pity (you) before janny comes
There's practically no difference in the two, who gives a flying fuck?
>It was always called "Cross" since the PS1 days.
Yup. I can pull out my OG PS1 box, grab the console manual of it, look up controls and see it clearly written out as Cross. Ancient 'news' is beyond ancient.

wrong. the christian cross is a symbol and looks different from the geometrical cross. there is also the orthodox cross - which is a symbol on steroids.
only retards confuse crosses for the letter x and they can't stand it being told so, hence why they seethe.
Talk shit
do you have nothing better to do? this is extra levels of sad
THIS is a fucking cross you heretic.
have x
It was called the "X" button in the early '90s so I'm going to call it that. I know that SNES was a little before your time (you were peobably born sometime in the mid to late '90s) but that's what everyone called it. "Cross" is reserved for the one Jesus is nailed to. Sony was just trying to be a hipster.
It is easier to say "press ex" then to say "press cross".
have secross
>I'm going to call it that
doesnt change the fact that its a cross
If you asked 1000 random Europeans, and North/South Americans to make a Cross on a piece of paper, 99% would make a t (without the curl) t is much closer to +. Only people who know enough math to know the difference between × and * products would maybe make an x, and even they might draw a simple Jesus cross.

>imagine sucking so much corporate cock that you're not even allowed to call buttons the way you want
Literally no one calls an X a "cross", save for maybe the nips. The only time the word is used is when someone is "crossing something out". In every other instance, we use X. You don't hear mathematicians say "solve for cross".
Stop being obtuse.
That's literally how that idiom is supposed to be said, user.
>The OED’s earliest citation is from a letter by Maria Edgeworth in 1813: “The three crosses X mark the three places where we were let in.” The term often appeared in romantic pirate stories in which hidden treasure marked on a map figured, as in Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island (1883).

Ex is easier to say than cross. You're a faggot op.

Yet most Europeans call the X button cross because the PlayStation buttons are named after shapes, not letters.
do you call the "A" button on your Nintendie toy the "Bing Bing Wahoo" button? genuine question.
No. Just Final Fantasy Cross.

In math letters are used in equations. Not geometrical shapes. Fucking hell, I share a board with retards like you...

I found a video hidden in dad's closet, it's rated cross! It must be good Christian media :)
Wow you have convinced me. It's now "cross marks the spot"
We use the letter A because everyone past pre-school age should know the alphabet. The fact that you can only label a letter after a shape is more than a little concerning.
hey do you guys like the crossmen comics?

Xenoblade Chronicles Cross is the best Xenoblade game in the series. Prove me wrong.
What? They're the same thing? I thought PSX was some literally who console on par with the NeoGeo or something.
This truth is so much worse.
The original design for the PS1 controller used the idea of the cross and the circle to represent no and yes respectively.
X would answer no and cancel things while O is a verification.
Theoretically, if you were to use X to mark a checkbox on a piece of paper you could either "cross" out the box or "ekks" out the box.
Either term is completely reasonable.
(You):
> the 'cross' button of PlayStation can only be called that when every instance of the letter X is also pronounced as 'cross'.
You're begging the question. The button is not an instance of the letter X.
You mean Crossenoblade Chronicles Cross
Crossenoblade*
From my experience, Germans, Czechs, French, and the Dutch certainly do. If you called it the eks-button here, everybody would think that you are retarded.
X marks the spot. it's also a cross. fuck you for sucking up media bollocks and presenting them as anything worthy of a fucking thought. piss the fuck off.
>born in 1987
>still use "X"
Only cross I know is the one used to scribble something out or the one Jesus was nailed to.
NO!! its cross or nothing!
Anyone alive in the 90s knows it has to be pronounced ex, since X was the cool letter you add to shit to spice it up. That and sega/nintendo systems had alphabetical X buttons, so habit just takes over.
I called it an X since the SNES.
Since you know, it was A, B, X, and Y.
PS1 used the letter X and so did Xbox.
It's always been X.
X being the cool letter is the only valid argument in this thread I've seen for calling the button after the letter X.
Just realised I call it "x" in English and but used croix (cross) in my native tongue. Huh.
What's the button you press to close your browser called? The one at the top right.
Tää
the bye-bye button
Pretty much. There's also the "X" in railroad crossing. Though, I only use it in very apecific situations like the aformentioned one.

A cross is just two lines going across each other. Direction doesn't matter. An X is just a specific type of cross that represents a letter. It's like telling somebody that they should call a toad a frog.

That's because that's a letter.
The buttons on a PlayStation controller are shapes.

Of course I called the Cross button Cross on my PSCross
All nintendo controllers have an eks button
All sega controllers with more than 3 buttons have an eks button
All xbox controllers have an eks button
Pc has a eks key and no cross key
But we have to call it cross because sonybros feel they are the ones that matter

Did people really call it psone or x in America back then? Everyone just said Playstation (and nintendo for the NES) here.
plus minus times divided by
i called it the playstation, when the ps2 came out i called it the playstation one
What the fuck kinda baitbosting shit is this thred?
I'm American and nobody called it PSX. It was just playstation, then started being called PS1 when the PS2 was around the corner. I know PSX was the original code name, and I know at the very least some game magazines might've called it PSX, but nobody actually called it that. At least in America, could've possibly been a euro thing.
Also nobody said NES. It was just Nintendo. And nobody said SNES instead of Super Nintendo either. Those abbreviations didn't become popular for people to use until the internet started being popular and people used them as quicker abbreviations in text. Saying aloud "ness" and "sness" still sounds weird to me.

Have sex.
haves ex
In person I called it playstation, but online I'd abbreviate it as psx since that's what everyone else did.
I call the NES "en ee ess" and the SNES "super en ee ess". Never heard anyone actually say "sness" out loud.
If you get this butthurt about dumb shit like this, how do you even function in life?
I know "N.E.S." and "Super N.E.S." were what the commercials officially said, but I don't know a single soul who actually said those names. Just nintendo and super nintendo. Anything else just seems awkward, like unironically saying "Jello-brand Gelatin".
I mean, the PS2 was technically called the "Sony Playstation 2 Computer Entertainment system" but nobody said that or SPS2CES or anything like that. Including that extra crap is just clunky and awkward, and I feel the same way about the "entertainment system" bit
This is a gaming issue you bigot

>AVGN taught you English.
Do you say something is a "shit load of fuck" instead of "terrible"?
Huh, i never actually noticed this until now.
The flat horizontal edges on the legs do make it a different symbol.

Not anymore. But I gotta admit just hearing him say "IT FUCKING SUCKS" was infinitely funny to me back then
It's an X on Nintendo/Xbox
It's a cross on Playstation.
However Nintendo and Sega used X's (not crosses) a decade before playstation released. So X is the norm.
yeah bro I sure love "eff eff vee eye eye" so much I can't wait for "eff eff vee eye eye remake"
shut the fuck up you faggot
Final fantasy didn't exist in Roman times, what the fuck are you talking about?

I wonder if every language except English will call it "cross" because in English, 'ecks' can actually refer to the shape, like 'oh' also refers to the zero and to the circle.
I'll call it a cross in Dutch, but I'd probably call it ecks in English
When I was a kid with a PS1 and my friends had PS1s everyone still called the buttons "oh" and "eks".
Zoomer.
>Nintendo and Sega used X's (not crosses) a decade before playstation released.
I didn't know 1991 and 1993 were a decade before 1994
We call it X because the actually decent controllers use letters and people are saying X instinctively due to better systems using that term.
Basically a cultural victory but on a controller symbol.
it's kryds you retard
In Europe everyone called it PSX, it's Americans who push the PSone meme
do you call the nintendo DS the Nitro? like legit asking here
just so you know why the "meme" exist, our packaging labled the console as the Playstation. Therefore we called it the playstation. When the ps2 came out we called it the ps1 to differentiate.
looks the same to me, op

he was going by Roman numbers which used to be written in Latin letters. rewatch the fucking movie. this riddle had nothing to do with crosses to begin with and your example is awful.

You should follow your own advice, retard-kun.
Only utter morons call a roman 10 "x". The roman "10" was used BECAUSE it is looks like an X, so they can mark the spot with it and have a joke on top of that after what Indiana said in the opening of the movie.
>mfw i just realised that a cross means "across", as in, across itself
Only utter morons call the letter "X" a cross.
>is surprised that in a movie (ironically about the Christian crusades) written and directed by a bunch of kikes the marks on treasure maps aren't called "cross". the kikes fear and avoid the cross like vampires.
go look up literature and tales about pirates and treasure maps. the treasure mark has always been refered to as a "cross", never an X.
fork is synonymous for cross in electronics' terms. never the letter X though.
Coincidently it was just revealed that the X in X-Men is actually a Roman Numeral. It’s been retconned into the 10-Men. Powers of X (Ten) is dope.
>Only utter morons call the letter "X" a cross.
Well, yeah, true. Not sure why you would say that.
>(ironically about the Christian crusades)
The irony actually is that they wouldn't call it cross when it makes absolute sense in the movie that they would call them crosses. Nigger you dumb.
its cross because its typically the button to either cross gaps by jumping or cross over to the next dialogue

Allow me to settle this debate instantly
The mmo FFXIV (spare me on your opinions) has an auto-translation dictionary built into its chat system. This is necessary because people of many languages play the game. There are many terms included you can autotranslate like {gil}, {warrior}, {thanks} and also the PS4 face buttons, because it's on PS4. Translating the word "square" outputs a square shape, and the same is true for "circle" and "triangle". Trying to translate "X" gets nothing, while translating "cross" outputs the bottom face button.
Thus, the correct term is "Cross."

Same with the D-pad in all controllers
You’d have to read it and if you like the X-Men I wouldn’t want to ruin it, but you find out early on that the number 10 is just as important as the letter X in X-Men Mythology. The series leading up to the relaunch deals with time in factors so it deals with mutants 1,10,100 and 1000 years into the future and across 10 parallel timelines. Author said he caught some inspiration from an old IBM tech demonstration video. It’s fitting because the run up to the relaunch is all about size and scale.
