I forget if I ever shared this thing I made back in the day.

Picture showing a standard XBox controller with the PlayStation X button in the lower position, the XBox X button in the left position, the Switch X button in the top position, and a question mark in the right position. Also the triggers and bumpers are swapped and labelled 'Right Top (RT)' and 'Right Bottom (RB)' etc.

If xbox is gone, there's at least a chance we can finally bury the abxy vs bayx thing.

    Xbox has influenced PC gaming too much for that.

    Steam Deck buttons are Xbox layout.

    Better than the old days of "Press 3," or worse- having to map keys to joystick buttons in the config of everything

    But SteamOS (UI) itself lets you configure it. It even has controller-agnostic button prompts, kind of similar to Breath of the Wild's where it shows you each button and highlights the one you should press. If I was at home, I'd share a picture of it.

    Since when is Xbox gone? Microsoft would be silly to kill off their console, they’d lose a pretty significant chunk of Game Pass subscribers. The rumors point to a hybrid PC/console, but it’s still an Xbox.

    Of course, Microsoft making foolish decisions would be nothing new.

    What I got is that they're trying to move to OEMs, like windows PCs. Either way, switching to a PC platform seems doomed, because who would choose that when Steam exists.

    They want to integrate Steam with the console, from the rumors I saw. They’ve already integrated Steam into the Xbox app on PC, as I understand it.

    More flexibility is a good thing. Console Game Pass and Steam on the same system? Yes please.
