Sony Playstation - Button Symbols System
Sony is a Japanese company and the development of the Playstation controller takes reference to Japanese authoring marks using four geometric shapes; circle, triangle, square and cross which are common knowledge in Japan, the same way we in the west are familiar with the meaning of 'tick' for correct and 'cross' meaning incorrect.

The following key explains the design philosphy of the Playstation button symbols:

Cross (batsu) = "no good"

Triangle (sankaku) = "weak" OR "average"

Circle (maru) = "good" OR "satisfactory"

Double circle (niju maru) = "excellent"

This explains why circle is always used to confirm in japanese games, and cross to cancel.

The DUALSHOCK 2 revolutionizes the way games are played.

The standard controller for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, the DUALSHOCK 2 analog controller allows you to accelerate, decelerate, and maneuver through a course with surgical precision or unlock even more fighting moves and secret weapons.

This controller is compatible with any game, including PlayStation® format software, that supports digital control, analog control, vibration function and/or pressure sensitive function, and on any system including the PlayStation game console and the PS one console; however, pressure-sensitive button features work only with the PlayStation 2 system.
