Thread 719016525

"PSX" was the working title/pre-production/code name/etc, and you're a fucking idiot if you call it this.
You might as well call the N64 the "Ultra 64", or the Gamecube the "Dolphin".

>>719016525 (OP)
Retard

But I play games on Dolphin all the time

Sony listed it as the PSX with retailers so it's the PSX.

>>719016654
I know you are faggot

Wait until you figure out what Delfino means in Italian

I still call the PS4 the orbis

We used to call it The Sony because you used to have The Nintendo and The Sega, and even The Computer, but then The Sony came out. You can't use this kind of language anymore because they made 5 Sonys

>>719016525 (OP)
everybody said PSX before 2010 so you just outed yourself as a child

I can't wait for OP (who is very underage) to find out the Gamecube was GCN.

>>719017124
There it is, now I can leave the thread

>>719016525 (OP)
you're right we all abbreviated it as "PS1" knowing that there would later be a sequel which would become a best seller
>>719017124
>>719017318
obviously AI generated

nobody said "PSX" out loud in civilized areas. it was always "PlayStation" until the PS2 was released, at which point some people started calling it "PS1" even before the actual release of the PSOne

What does the X stand for? X-Men? X-Files? You can't just throw an X on there to seem cool. I hate the 90's style

>>719017484
Are we supposed to be wowed by anecdotal evidence?

ITT impotent vaping faggot ssi addicted zoomers rage about Y-chads using the term psx both in the past, present and eventual future

>>719017484
You're not wrong. I guess when written down, they might write PSX, but when spoken, everyone I ever knew just said PlayStation.

>>719017124
It's amazing how retarded faggots keep trying to make this thread, when this image exists and BTFOs them every time.

>nobody said "PSX" out loud in civilized areas.
I lived in an entirely white neighborhood and said PSX out loud as a kid.

I call it a PSX mainly because it annoys spergs.

>>719017124
The real issue is that zoomers have grown up knowing only the complete and utter cultural stagnation brought on by social media and smartphones. It does not occur to them that something called one thing in 1998 can be called something else in 2001.

>>719016525 (OP)
Here's an ad in Playstation Magazine UK calling the PSX

>>719018273
>I'm a millennial, guys
That game didn't come out for the PS1. Don't know what this "PSX" format is referring to.

>>719019289
It was also called PSX in Germany. Or Playsi.

>>719018273
Wait, techromancer came out for the PSX?
I thought it was Dreamcast exclusive

>>719017729
Nothing. But it wasn't there to look cool, they put the X there to distinguish it from the PlayStation, the cancelled SNES CD-Rom console they were working on with Nintendo.

>>719018580

Copy pasted suburban hellscapes don't count as civilized areas, sorry buddy

>>719018273
>>719019676
It didn't come out, but that didn't stop them making advertisements for it.

what does the x stand for?

If you were alive during the 90's you'd know gaming magazines abbreviated the PlayStation as PSX because the PS2 wasn't a thing yet

>>719020503
It's PSX2, PSX3, PSX4, and PSX5. We just forgot.

>>719020503

I'll call it the PSX in the off chance it'll make a schizo mad

>>719016525 (OP)
this is a UK thing right?

>>719017484
It was always the PSX, you mouthbreathing mongoloid. I lived through the 90s and the aughts, I was there the entire fucking time. Everybody said 'PSX' out loud, or occasionally just 'Playstation'. It was never the 'PS1'.

>>719019838
>n-n-n-no that doesn't count
concession accepted friendo

>>719016525 (OP)
I call it PSX because everyone on the Internet called it that at the time. So did game magazines. "PS1" is a more contemporary term, that emerged after the PS2 came out.

>>719018628
>doesn't change the fact it was just the codename
Yes it does

It remained "PSX" well into the PS3 generation on gamefaqs.
At some point around 2009 during a redesign, they changed it from /psx/ to just /ps/

>>719016714
huh

why yes I own a Play Station Xperimental, how could you tell?

>not a single ad ever called it psx

>>719016525 (OP)
I haven't heard anyone call it PS anything when it was the only console, people just called it the sony or the playstation, the abbreviations only popped up when ps2 came out. Anecdotal of course but that's how I remember it.

>>719017124

>>719018657
omg its the music guy

You know what's bothered me for 20 years?
If it was the "Nintendo Gamecube", why the hell did every store system list the shortened name to GCN instead of NGC? Were they seriously referring to it internally as Gamcube, Nintendo or some shit like James Bond introducing himself?

>>719019953
implying PSX fags only have X chromosomes.

>>719016525 (OP)
If the rom chip that comes inside it calls it PS-X, who am i to disagree?
Please do not create threads saying that PS-X (with the trace) is the correct name.

Those sound cool. From now on I'll cal my Ultra 64 and Dolphin by their original names.

>>719016525 (OP)
Did press help cover up the psx failure by naming the ps psx?

>>719028104
There were possible legal repercussions since NGC was already taken, so NoA and NoE decided to go with GCN. Japan's solution was to have it just be GC.

>>719028104
>NGC
Neo Geo CD

Will I need to replace capacitors on my psx soon?

It's its true name, just like the correct term is "occupied Palestine".

Yes, extraordinary is definitively a word you can use to describe that monstrosity.

>>719017124
The fact that this image was made over a decade ago and this discourse still happens on a regular basis is the best proof that trying to prove anything to strangers on the internet is a giant waste of time. You can have virtually infinite amount of arguments and they all will be lost on someone who's simply arguing in bad faith.

ultra 64 and dolphin aren't coincidentally the obvious acronyms you would use to refer to the system.
P-lay S-tation X-placeholder. it makes sense to use outside of the codename at least at one time.

Where I lived it was "Playstation" until the PS2 came out, then it was "PS1". I heard the time PSX much later when I began autisically reading about console history on school computers.

>>719016525 (OP)
My first console was a PSX2, so I don't care about the PSX at all

>>719037019
I guess where you lived you didn't get any commercials, magazines, games or internet either. Fucking kek!

>>719016525 (OP)
Gaming magazines were referring to it as the PSX before it got its official name, and it stuck.

PSXXX has no gaems

>>719016525 (OP)
what is your end goal here?
because the only logical angle i can see in those psx/ps1 threads i can see is sony preparing grounds for naming ps10 as psx to capitalize on nostalgia on the basis that it was never called that...

Damn, I don;t know why children get so riled up by this but it makes me lol. I called it a psx in 1996, 2006, 2016 and will continue to do so.

>psx cable
love it

>>719016525 (OP)
people called it that at the time though. "ps" was too short, "playstation" was too long, and "ps1" didn't make sense when there was no ps2. i remember people calling it "psx" in the late 90s at school.

How much should I pay for a ps2 these days?

>universal n64 adapter (uk, us, jp) 15 quid
What's this? I've seen one of those spacer adapter things, but all that does is remove the physical limitations of the cartridge slot, so you can play JP on US and vice-versa. How do they end up with PAL/NTSC compatibility for 15 pounds?

>>719039323
I assume it is some fuckery to avoid the region lock. Or it is a scam. You'd have to time travel to 1997 and ask.

>>719038821
PS is not too short, just as DC, GC, GB are not too short. This seems to be a self-imposed restriction based on autism. People verbalized PlayStation in full.

>>719020503
Xbox

Ultra 64 > PSX
deal with it snoys

there is just no way this is real, I've never heard anyone say psx ever

>>719039990
>>719018657

>>719039570
i don't ever remember anyone ever using those terms in speech. you'd sometimes see them online in text form... even then, for gamecube using gcn was pretty common in the 2000s.

>>719040026
anecdotal evidence

I'll always call it the PSX, you don't like it then you are a zoomer born after that entire generation

The term PSX in speech and print is a decades long conspiracy by millennials to gaslight zoomers just so said millennials can act arrogant and shit on them for questioning the lie they are told.

>>719040109
better than a complete lack of any

>>719038821
but why psx? it's called playstation, saying ps for short makes more sense than saying psx. It's not called playstation x, it's just playstation, what does the x even stand for? who started using it, and where? how did it catch on? this makes no sense to me, this is a gigantic gaslight campaign like the flat earth thing

>>719040068
>gcn
That comes from nintendo press guidelines.

>>719040309
it was a codename and caught on from people discussing the system before it was out, especially gaming news which was (relative to the gaming audience) much bigger at the time. the term stuck after release because momentum + it flows well when saying it. ps1 eventually displaced it once there were enough playstations for that term to make sense.

>>719016525 (OP)
PSX written
Play(Station) spoken

>>719040415
so pretentious fags call it psx, got it

>>719038389
I'm not even in this autism debate, it was obviously called the PSX in a lot of places. I lived in a major West Coast city in the suburbs, and everyone called it the Playstation.

>>719040618
i mean i was like 8 at the time reading magazines from the store, i don't think that was that pretentious

>>719040068

It may have been called the PSX, but the naming doesn't make any sense. Xbox tier naming.
Xbox (1)
Xbox 360
Xbox ONE
Xbox PRO
Or whatever

>>719041654
i liked the playstation library up through ps4 but you set yourself up

>>719041674
It's like regional naming. In West Coast America you call it OG Xbox. Here we call it Classic Xbox.

>>719041674
I believe they called it the 360, because it was competing with the PS3, so they needed it to be "3". Ain't nobody gonna buy an XBOX 2 when the PS 3 is out because number bigger.

I do not give a shit, i will call it the Phonystation.

Nobody called it PSX when I was a kid.

more like gaystation lol

Calling the PS "PSX" is just like calling the Super Nintendo "SNES". Fucking no one called the Super Nintendo "SNES" back then just like no one called the PS PSX outside of video game magazines.

>>719017124

Calling the Super Nintendo a "SNES" makes sense since it's an abbreviation, PSX doesn't make sense because there's no X.
