Which consoles/ systems use the controller to determine which account is active?

At least on the switch you just have accounts in the upper left and switch between them regardless of controller. Is it a Sony implementation?

I’m not trying to be difficult but this is very easy to search and the combative tone is unnecessary. I can tell you firsthand my Xbox does it, but that doesn’t really do anything for you because you already doubt me for some reason. You should still look it up to confirm it for yourself. You can tie users to controllers and set that for login. It’s a documented, widely used feature. I get that may sound ridiculous to you but it’s been standard for years.
