It was always called "The PSX"

X = 1
only on /v/

Stop making this thread you giant fucking faggot bitch!

>>715033074
I actually like the design of the revision. I wish they would bring this back.

>>715031441 (OP)
nope
we never called it that
it was just "the playstation/ps" until ps2 came out
then it was the ps1
>t. was actually alive back then, owned one, and talked about it to the other gamers at the time

>>715031441 (OP)
It was PSX in print and Playstation when spoken. Until the PS2 came out and it became the PS1 for both.

it was never ps1. ps1 directly implies there was already an understanding of a ps2 on the release of "ps1" and no previous major console was even differentiated by 1, 2, 3, 4, (...) and definitely not on it's first iteration

>>715031441 (OP)
I don't get why they keep insisting this. It was "playstation", then it was "playstation one"

it was PSX from 1994 to 2000, wqhen they released PSOne trying to adapt it for their upcoming naming scheme because ps2 was already in development.
i suspect it was always the long term plan to have them called ps1 ps2 ps3 etc and the project itself was called PSX (X being numerical value) but some exec thought it looked cool so they had to go on with it.
there was a talk around then about it and people asked "what the X stands for" jokingly.
there is still no reason to call it ps1 tho. just use psx and everyone will know what you talk about without confusing it with psone.

Yes?

Literally all of us called it the PSX when referring to it, I literally started on playstation with Tekken 1. Playstation was never called Playstation One until the literal PS1 came out.

Then once that exists people called the original PS the PSX to be more clear.

Other than the small handful of material you'll find reposted itt, the majority of people never called it PSX. It's pure revisionism from autists

>>715037012
Incorrect, we always called it PSX in writing and also because every games mag and cheat site etc referred to it as that.

>>715036840
This is the ultimate zoomer fake history argument.

>>715031441 (OP)
No

>>715033843
I don't. It looks like someone took an orbital sander to the original one and got a bit too zealous with it.

>>715037207
>Nobody alled it The Great War back then
>It was actually um uh....
>World War X! Yes, of course!

>>715037082
Repost the same jpegs again. This wasn't part of the discourse among 90% of people. You had to pick up one of these mags which I guarantee the majority of buyers didn't. There's no indication to the kid playing games on his console that it's called PS"""X"""". It's not culturally relevant. After PS2 came out that sealed PS1 as the way to refer to the console.

>>715037207
Praystation!

So where did PSX come from? Advertisements in magazines or something? I remember seeing PSX somewhere as a kid but I know it wasn't on the console itself.

btw only people called it 'ps' when the smaller version released
good times

>>715031441 (OP)
It was that way in print which includes online stuff. No, no one said "pee ess ex" in reality. No, you're not funny if you do the full ACKSHUALLY PSX WAS A JAPANESE ONLY PLAYSTATION 2 VARIANT.

>>715037608

Like "GCN" for the GameCube.

プレステ was actually what people called it

I always get a bit emotional when I see magazines of Hyper's golden era, seeing it run into the ground in the mid 2000s was so sad.

ps 10? ps 6 doesn't even exist you idiot

>>715038298
No. It will stay as black and crusty as the day I moved into this ghetto ass slum apartment and I will NOT be getting my deposit back.

>>715038324
No. This is not the environment we came up into in the mid 90s. We read magazines where abbreviations were used for consoles as a standard reaching farther back than the NES and the PSX is just what it was fucking called everywhere. It was the hyperlink to see news on websites like Happypuppy.com, it was what magazines called it. It was just the name for it because 3 letter abbreviations are a defacto standard.

>>715038579
>we did this
>we did that
So which gaming rag did you work for bro? CVG?

>>715038579
That what your Google search told you?

It was PSX because it was the 90s and X is cool.

It was never called PSX, it was PS-X

>>715037207
Playstation™bros... we won

>>715031441 (OP)
Psx? Im tallin bout that ps triple

>>715031441 (OP)
Older gaming magazines were the only place I ever saw PSX being used, and some people adopted the term because of them, other than that most people called it the playstation

I will keep these receipts for as long as my rotting husk draws breath.

>>715039056
In Brazil btw, this is from 2001

>>715039218

Oh wow, these random people forum posts totally prove that it was always called PSX.
It's over guys.

don't care what marketers call that shit

Okay, but me and the kids in my neighborhood never called it that. The overwhelming majority of players never had these online convos calling it psx. We didn't even have a computer in my house until 1999

>>715039347
>sees magazines from the era call it psx
>sees websites from all over the world abbreviate it to psx in their console listings
>sees random people from the era calling it the PSX
>reads oldfags in this thread saying they called it the PSX
Naaaaah you rite nigga. Dubious at best.

>>715039437
Well as I said, it was mostly only magazines using PSX and almost no one used it irl, but it was definitely a thing back then

>>715039348
>marketers are the same ones that came up with that dogshit naming convention known as the Xbox Series X
ESLs and the Japs can't even spit the whole line without eating shit in the process. Never trust what some marketing or journo piece of shit says what is and isn't the absolute truth. Their entire existence is to spin porkies and misinformation for a living wage.

It was called playstation or simply sony here in Europe. It wasn't until PS2 came out that people started calling it PSone to diferentiate the two.

This is a reassuring image. Because I got into an argument about this like 10 years ago. And nobody backed me up. I was almost successfully gaslit, but I didn't back down. Still, I had a niggling doubt in the back of my mind. This image helped me destroy that last bit of doubt.

X is 10 retard

>>715037519
It was an abbreviation used in game magazines before and after the system came out
iirc it may have had more to do with distinguishing between the original and the dualshock edition of the console

>>715035912
>Until the PS2 came out and it became the PS1 for both.
Until the thing got launched, then it was the playstation.
PSX was the code name
Magazines and people online kept calling it by the code name like retards because it was easier to type.
Doesn't make it correct.
Sony dropped the PSX code name as soon as the real name was revealed.
The only people that kept it going were dipshit who were WRONG.

>>715039437
>Okay, but me and the kids in my neighborhood..
Some dumbass kids calling it the wrong thing does not make it reality

>>715038893
We lived it you fucking zoomer.

>>715037519
Magazines called it that whenever it was abbreviated. Never knew why exactly, but I assumed it was so that game release lists were formatted more neatly. N64 and PSX could take up the same space in the column that way. Pretty sure the Saturn and Game Boy were abbreviated STN and NGB. Not sure how that would have worked for the previous console generation, I don't remember that far back as clearly.

>>715039437
Yeah, and me and all my friends pronounced "chocobo" as "kokobo" for some reason. That doesn't mean everyone else did or that we were right for doing it.

>>715040638
It was literally because it was easier to fit than the word PlayStation on pages with large graphics in print format

That's wrong. Before there was a PS2.... it was just called Playstation.

This. The bizarre gaslighting campaign around something so trivial never ceases to amaze me though.

I called it the PSX then and I still call it the PSX now. No amount of retardation from /v/ will change that.

>>715037886
Same, honestly. It's just so fucking weird and pointless. I don't get the "joke". It's like the most petty, retarded social experiment one could possibly conceive of.
