The PlayStation one is the symbol, not the letter, so that one is a bit different.
Yup, functionally the cross is more like an A, and the PlayStation layout is effectively the same as the Xbox one in actual practice.

Yeah, the original system had logic to it. The square also symbolized menus, and triangle was tertiary.
