Eks is not a shape, it is a letter, hence Cross.

I mean, even in Dutch we'd call them driehoekje, cirkel, vierkant en kruis.

The word 'cross' is inextricably tied to religion in North America. In Japan, O (maru) and X (batsu) are used to represent correct and incorrect, respectively. Those symbols are not used as such in Canada, and I would bet the rest of North America as well. That which people call a cross is almost ubiquitously referring to a Latin cross. If you tell someone from Canada or the US to look for the cross symbol, they will probably start looking for the equivalent of a lower-case T. Just not used that way here.

So, uh, how did X become "do stuff" and O become "cancel stuff" in western playstation?

Now THAT is a good question. We do typically use an X to mark something as wrong, but we don't use a circle to mark something as correct.

Here's an excerpt from PlayStation designer Teiyu Goto, regarding the button choices: "I gave each symbol a meaning and a color. The triangle refers to viewpoint; I had it represent one's head or direction and made it green. Square refers to a piece of paper; I had it represent menus or documents and made it pink. The circle and X represent 'yes' or 'no' decision-making and I made them red and blue respectively. People thought those colors were mixed up, and I had to reinforce to management that that's what I wanted."

No real answer, but some explanation. A writer at Kotaku gave the supposition that it may be as simple as "X marks the spot," but there's no official statement or given reason why X and O are Confirm and Cancel in the North American market. Side note, Japanese games are programmed for their original button meanings. X is still Cancel and O is still Confirm.

Well, in that case, "Q" should be properly pronounced /kw/ ("kwuh"), because "Q" makes a [kw] sound, not a [kj] sound (when paired with "U").

By the way, triangle was the cancel button in America before the PS3 (except Metal Gear games and maybe a few others which used the Japanese buttons). As I still do a lot of PS1 gaming, I never got used to the newer way.

Can get confusing. I imported SRT:V and basically the buttons switch when I go between the game and PS4 menus. Was confusing at first.
