And it makes much more sense to have X as No and O as yes for the symbols

After so many years on Playstation when I was a teenager my brain rewired itself to see X as yes and O as no

I know it's wrong but I can't help it

But then Sony made the circle pink/red which is universal for stop/cancel and cross blue.

That's true, but IMO Sony's pastel colors don't convey much

Xbox has bright Red/Green, these are much more explicit

Not so universal.  The coloring still makes sense for Japanese audiences, which lines up with the X/O convention there.

In Japan it's actually red for correct, and blue for incorrect still. So that very much isn't universal
