Why do console games require a button press before showing the main menu?

Seems like a perfectly fine question, but it may be a bit development-themed, so if it is considered really off-topic, it should be migrated to Gamedev.SE.

This question is definitely of interest to gamers, as it has so many upvotes.

I see that there's a rule on SE to not migrate old questions. The question of closing still remains.

    Migration requires a mod. We can't vote for migration.

  • Can we discuss if it is an option and then maybe flag it?

    Meta was the right place to come. I was just letting you know why it was closed instead of migrated. Our mods will have to talk to their mods.

  • Old questions are not migrated, per SE policy.

    Another question is "why close at all" - this is something I have always been curious about, as a gamer (and not a game developer), so I think it's a great question.

    The question comes from a time when our sites standards were substantially less stringent than they are today. Questions of the "Why does mechanic exist" flavor are generally frowned upon and closed nowadays. This one, by virtue of it's age, had slipped through the cracks.

  • I guess that note should be added to the question saying how it's still here because of historical reasons, though not deemed fit by modern standards.
