First, sony didnt copy them. The symbols on the PS controller had special meanings in Japanese. X = incorrect/cancel O = correct/accept. English localized games reversed them for whatever reason.
Also, xbox actually derived its layout from the Dreamcast. MS was partnered with Sega, thus the xbox carries on the Sega legacy.

I mean… I was more talking about the four button standard diamond pattern… With different labels on each button; but okay.
The basic layout of the PS1 controller was a SNES controller with wings.
I remember reading somewhere that the Triangle was meant to represent “viewpoint” and the Square was meant to represent “menu”. Neat, if true!
This.
