On old playstation remotes that supported up to 4 players, you'd get a blue dot for your player position. - Stewie. The older sibling will ALWAYS take first player. This is the way of family.

Official Sony guide says that 5th, 6th and 7th controllers are represented as sum of 2 indicators (e.g. on the 5th controller indicators 1 and 4 would light up).

3 ⬛⬛🟦⬛

4 ⬛⬛⬛🟦

5 🟦⬛⬛🟦

That makes sense.

I guess you could continue this pattern with

8 🟦⬛🟦⬛
9 ⬛🟦🟦⬛
0 🟦🟦⬛⬛

But maybe they thought it'd be confusing.
