The gaming genius reportedly told Japanese video game magazine Famitsu all about the design.
SQUARE
The square is said to represent a piece of paper or documents.
Goto reportedly said: “Square refers to a piece of paper; I had it represent menus or documents and made it pink.”
TRIANGLE

“The triangle refers to viewpoint; I had it represent one’s head or direction and made it green.”
CIRCLE AND X
The circle and the X, which some people call the cross symbol, have fairly obvious meanings.
Goto explained: “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.”
An official PlayStation Twitter account once tweeted about the controvery surrounding the cross symbol.
The PlayStation UK account wrote: “If Cross is called X (it’s not), then what are you calling Circle?”
