I say "ex". It doesn't look like a cross to me, I think of a cross like the Christian/Catholic cross, which stands up vertically, so the X on PlayStation controllers doesn't even register as a cross in my mind unless someone points it out.
Also, I once knew a kid that called the Square button the "Box" button.
Well you're certainly quite wrong about thatI don't think there is a single person in the world who calls it cross button.

Yeah, people like Sony for instance.Lol, what? People actually call it "cross"?
both, arbitrarily
also
circle - 1 line
cross - 2 lines
triangle - 3 lines
square - 4 lines
It doesn't. It goes with o.
2 lettera and 2 shapes.

Only it isn't.What? Its obviously X
Yup it has to be ex.
Heard someone on a Youtube video say cross once and I was like WTF
It is not an "o" either though, because an "o" is not circular, but slightly oval. The thing on the dual shock is round, though.
Also, if we are on the topic of how we call it among friends or internally to understand the button position, I always read the buttons to myself and a good friend (to all others I just take the actual names and this means cross for the cross-button on PS) as:
Cross: A
Square: B
Circle: X
Triangle: Y
Also, on Xbox / Saturn / Dreamcast controllers:
A: A
X: B
B: X
Y: Y
And on Nintendo controllers outside the GameCube and N64 one:
B: A
Y: B
A: X
X: Y
Because this is the only right way to name those buttons, just that all the companies are too crazy to see the light.
Would have voted for "45 degrees-rotated plus button"Ecks. This should've been a poll...
Isn't B the button you press on Nintendo consoles to go back? Wouldn't that be Circle/B(xbox)?
They're just symbols. An 'X' is as much a symbol as a square or triangle.It's s not an ex because the O isn't a letter either. Why would they have 2 symbols and 2 letters as buttons?
You have a square, a circle, a triangle amd a cross.
Fucking deal with it.

Absolute truth.It's ex, just like 'gif' should always be said with a hard G, as in 'gi-ve'. Anyone who pronounces these otherwise is probably a serial killer.
