        Different people remember things differently! Ever heard how men like to know the street name and address to get to a place, women like to use geographical landmarks (not all women and men, obviously)
        
        I like the colours, infact I think it's one of the few things Microsoft did better than Sony, it's very logical, everyone knows those colours - I don't think B X Y or A I think Red Yellow Blue Green when hitting buttons (I also think top, left, right, bottom) - again, the letters are almost meaningless to me.
        (I thnik the bottom one is X? the top one is Y and A / B are left and right?)
