Totally agree. Got a Vita from Ratuken to only find out it's the Japanese version with the X and O buttons swapped which would be fine if that console only played Japanese games but I only play Western games on it and it drives me nuts.Tried research to see if there was a solution, but as the OP said, swapping the button via the menu doesn't really solve the issue if the western games don't natively support the feature. I would say it has tarnished my vita experience specifically that or I eventually get a US vita.
