OP BTFO.

>>725106303 (OP)
Imagine being so specifically insane that you feel the need to argue what people called a console before you were born. Do you have a "Sega System" thread up as well?

>>725106765
gaming journalists =/= normal people

>>725107945
>equals divided by equals
I wish you people would learn what exclamation points mean, or learn how to use Windows+period.

>>725108032
>"nobody called it a PSX"
>evidence that clearly at least a few people did
>"BUT I MEAN SPECIFICALLY IN THE SOURCES I CHOSE"
Again, imagine being this specifically insane, where you have to do this. You weren't even alive before 2000.

who the fuck cares

>>725108198
Any normal person back then called it "a PlayStation
Abbreviations have existed for decades you retard

>>725108330
But you wouldn't know, because you didn't live back then. You've never posted to Usenet. You've never ordered a mod chip. You've never had to switch burner programs because the shit that came bundled wouldn't burn PSX discs.

>>725106303 (OP)
but now people do

>>725106461
ps2

>>725108436
so you basicly admit only people online called it PSX
>still projecting being a zoomer onto
ill do you a easy one
present me one piece of video evidence of people calling the PSX in the 90's and ill concede
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3yGp-aWfdc
i dont hear anyone saying PSX here

>>725108682
>only people online called it PSX
But I thought nobody called it that. Now you've conceded, and I accept.

>>725108620
refuted
>>725108032

>>725108020
you can waste your time scrolling through some nerd menu for pedants or you can just communicate the same idea with characters readily available on your actual fucking keyboard

>>725108726
>nobody used a abbreviation
???
i never said that
i ask you, once piece of evidence of the word PSX leaving someones mouth
just one

>>725108682
I fucking wish I saved that webm last year of that dev in the 90s (I wanna say CliffyB, but I think it might have been someone else) being interviewed and he clearly said PSX. Goddammit, now I can't find it anywhere.

explain this

>>725106303 (OP)
>Nobody called it that.
Okay? That was 30 years ago. No one called it the PS1 either and no one gets bothered by that.

>>725108781
An exclamation point isn't readily available? What the fuck is up with your keyboard?

What does the X stand for?

>>725108886
explain this

>>725108929
he's giving that other Anon shit for saying =/= instead of ≠

>>725108889
We actually called it the PsOne (pronounced p'zone).
>>725108936
It was just a cool thing back then. X was XTREME.
>>725108990
I'm the one giving him shit. He easily could have typed !=, but he decided on equals divided by equals.

>>725108936

>>725108970

>>725109043
Yeah and you knew exactly what he fucking meant, but you decided to be a pedantic erm achtually grammar nazi about it rather than engage in meaningful discussion

dude this psx thing is like flat earth, everyone knows that its called the playstation, the company calls it playstation, wikipedia calls it playstation, but WHOOOOAA DUDE YOU SEE THESE MAGAZINES BRO? THEY CALL IT THE PSX MAN, IDK WHY EVERYONE CALLS IT PLAYSTATION BUT ITS CALLED THE PSX BRO.

even rom websites call it the psx. fucking lmao

>>725109225
It's not a matter of "you know what he means," but not typing like a fag with shit that's all retarded.

>>725109240
It's amazing how you just pretend to not understand. Everyone called it the Playstation in speech, but it was typed and written PSX because people liked to save time/space. Not one of you faggots has gone into a thread and went "NOBODY EVER CALLED IT THE XBONE GUYS."

>>725106461
Pee-sys double

>>725108936
It was the 90s, anon. We splashed 'X' everywhere just because it sounds cool. ESPN Xtreme Games. Marvel's various X-titles. Sushi-X. X-Files. SSX. You get the idea.

>>725106461
psxx

You only ever seen PSX used in magazines or online, but the argument is fucking pointless. What a shit thread

What's the difference between PS1 and PSX?

>>725109370
stop please, you are just baiting me

>>725106303 (OP)
Ok zoomer.

Whilst it was primarily called the playstation or ps1, it was also known as psx. I distinctly recall this in high school over 25 years ago.

>>725109527
>still just openly lying and pretending not to understand
Keep telling me how nobody said it despite the fact that it's been shown that people have said it.

>>725106303 (OP)
We called it "la play"

>>725109490
the psx looks like this

>>725108032
Damn son, (you) big mad.

>>725108936
The 'X' is for 'SEX', which is what you should have. With me~ ;3

>mfw everyone in this thread is wrong
IT WAS CALLED A NINTENDO

>>725106765
NO. DELETE THIS YOU FUCK. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AI DEEPFAKE PHOTOSHOP. You CANNOT do this to me. My entire personality is hinged on arguing it wasn't known as the PSX, because it wasn't in my limited friend group, you don't understand that you are crushing my psyche by showing it was, in fact, widely referred to as the PSX in the 90s.

That was the GameCube codename

the whole magazine is gourgeous, particularly the creepy baby. I miss the 90's

>>725110168
It's not "everyone," but some people continued to call it that even after the stupid fucking name came out. Just like some people still called the N64 "Ultra 64." The latter has more grounding in final names, though, as the arcade version was still called that.

yeah bro me and the boys always played our Direct X box

>>725106765
Huh?

>>725112846
anon you might as well give up
the local schizo will never let go off the believe that a 3 letter abreviation used by magazine's wasnt some official ''name'' the console had

>>725106303 (OP)
its called the ps or ps one
the psx is a rebranded ps2 as digital video recorder

>>725113338
It's called the P'Zone, dipshit.

>>725113365
>its called an X-Bone brooo

>>725113432
>because when you see it you get erect

>>725113338
no one knew about the recorder at the time. it's something that is only brought up by children who live vicariously through wikipedia.

>>725106303 (OP)
They did in text. There was no PS2 for it to be a PS1, and PSX is more distinctive than PS.

>>725113686
uh no i live in japan and everyone knows it here!

>>725113686
Same could be said that PSX lived through the terminally online of the time

>>725114436
>ignoring magazines talking about it
Why not just admit you're psychotic? You wouldn't be the first 4chan person to murder a woman and post damning evidence.

>>725114594
You've yet to post evidence of kids/adults calling it PSX on video do

>>725114726
>it has to be on video
>printed evidence that it was in the vernacular doesn't count
Why are you psychotic? Did you get raped as a child?

>>725114436
The term was already used by gamers even before the Internet became mainstream.

>>725114436
"of the time"
thank you for admitting that people did indeed use PSX for the console back then.
now you can stop being willfully retarded until next thread where you pretend to still have brain damage and start this argument all over again.

>>725114912
Any spoken evidence will do
You've yet to prove it was anything other than just a three letter abbreviation (a standard almost every magazine had btw)

>>725115032
>People
Again
Nothing?
Not even a kid calling it that?
Must not be hard to find footage if it was that common

>>725115045
But it's irrelevant to the conversation. Show me video evidence that you're not psychotic. Just one clip.

>>725115149
You've done a better job of proving your own psychosis than proving it was such a widely used nickname
I take it that now that you have no real argument other than personal insults that you have no evidence (again, shouldn't be hard to find if it was that common) and that you have given up
See you next thread :^)

>>725115386
Again
Nothing?
Not even a home movie?
Must not be hard to find footage of you not being psychotic if it's so evident

>>725115113
back to being brain damaged already, i see.

>>725115657
>someone made that

>>725115752
Same "article."
>Up until the release of the PlayStation 2, the first PlayStation console came to be known colloquially outside of Japan by its provisional codename of PSX (this was adopted to echo the MSX, a home computer standard sold by Sony and other companies throughout the 1980s).[13] This can cause some confusion as to which device is being referred to.
Of course, that's not true because nobody called the PSX the PSX.

This is a page from Sega's leaked 1997 brand review.

>>725115045
Are you retarded? PSX is shorthand, why would anyone use shorthand while speaking?
Do you say b t w out loud instead of by the way as well?

>>725116220
You don't say "OH EM GEE ELL OH ELL?"

>>725106461

No, because I'm not underage and retarded.

PSX Reloaded

I had a PS1 in 1998. It was called Playstation, that's what everyday normies called it. PSX was the 'politically correct' term in a way. Only publications and anal gamers would call it PSX. Mainstream media called it the 'Sony Playstation' It wasn't until the PS2 was announced in 1999 and Sony released the mini playstation, you would hear PS1 floating around. The ps1 was still popular even after the ps2 was released.

So yeah, only bunch autistic nerds called it psx.

Just like nobody called Stone Cold, 'Stone Cold Steve Austin'. It was just Stone Cold.

The PSX was at the time some urban myth from Japan, it was supposedly the ps3

>>725116469
>So yeah, only bunch autistic nerds called it psx.
it was common online, on forums/usenet. so yeah, autistic nerds. when you're typing out a post, PS can stand for post script if you use it at the start of a sentence so some spergs probably used PSX to make sure everyone knew what the fuck they meant.

>>725116469
>reddit spacing
>this post

Why do we have so many of these threads? I swear its the same 2 schizos fighting over the same fucking thing

>>725117536
It's one guy who makes these threads and the "it's actually called the Sega System" threads. I refuse to believe that two people could be so specifically insane in the exact same way.

>>725117058
Reddit: PSX

4Chan: PS1

>>725117674
>implying this isn't basically a reddit sub
We're so much cooler than those crazy redditors, right??????

>>725118021
It's so weird that instead of enjoying life zoomers are trying to rewrite history about what the PSX was called when I was a kid when they weren't even born yet

>>725106303 (OP)
I didn't know about consoles until the ps2, so to me it was a ps1.
Also haha pee sex

>>725106461
>what did boomers called the ps2 ?
pcsx2

Called it the playstation until ps2 came out. Then it was the ps1.

I don't understand why people would want to call it psx

>>725106303 (OP)
ok faggot. ill bite.
what would you need to stop posting this bait?
give me some examples of shit that would convince you.

'nobody' in the op means nobody under 30.
if you are over 30, this thread is not talking about you. hope this helps

>>725118919
>I don't understand why people wanted to type 8 fewer characters
>>725119245
People under 30 are boomer zoomers, though.

>>725106461
the PSX

casuals trying to reqrite the history will never accept the fact that people that ware into gaming heard about sonys console for the first time as a secret project codenamed PSX so that how we referred to it on a daily basis.
once it came out we just kept calling it that. dont remember anyone calling it ps. it was either psx, playstaion or even sony. but no one used "ps" as the acronym.
nigger op will never accept it tho as he is just here to stir shit so he can laugh at normalfags that would believe him.

>>725106461
Im a 37 year old boomer. Me and my friends used to call it the Nintendo

>>725106461
The GayStation Poo. You see, gays have sex with the poo hole, so hypothetically such a station could really exist.

>>725119385
thats 2004 nigger. they tried to leverage the known acronym for a failed project. dont think it ever came out outside of japan.

>>725108936
Nothing. It was just there to differentiate the console from the PlayStation that was never released.
Pic related, the device in the middle is a PlayStation, while the one on the right is a PlayStation (formerly PSX).

>>725119574
>Sony was wrong, WE choose the console names!!!
Sounds like Amerifat cope.

PSX? More like Piss-X lmaooooo

>>725106303 (OP)
this thread was made by an agent paid by sony as they are actually reached the point when playstation 10 is a possibility.
they would love to call it PSX so they try to rewrite the history starting by pushing the agenda that "psx was never a thing"

>>725108032
I still can't tell if this image is for or against called it PSX.

>>725119291
people under 30 would not even remember a time without the ps2, which released when they were at most 5 years old.
By the time they started playing consoles, the playstation was already succeeded by the ps2.

>>725106461
"the play 2"
42 old boomer here, was there for the release of most consoles since the 80s

>>725119871
playstation 10 won't happen for a long time.
we are still about 2 years out from a ps6 with nothing concrete yet.
Maybe in another 30 years it'll be a problem for them.

>>725119761
>WE choose the console names!!!
basically, yeah.

>>725119761
>not American
Now I see the source of the anger. You're poor and you blame us for it.

Psx was used only in online discussions like forums to differentiate it from the ps2. Irl nobody called it a psx. Just online. GCN never made sense. Perpetually online nerds on message boards back then were really picky about abbreviations and you had to use what they asserted was correct or be excluded from conversations.

>>725120104
and then they will post to threads on socialmedia dating back 3 decades saying that psx was never a thing.
thats why op post this only once ever few weeks.

>>725106461
psx2

it was called psx back then but only contrarian fags say that now.

>>725120346
so before ps2 they referred to it as PS but when ps2 cam out they changed it to PSX to
>differentiate it from the ps2

cough*
https://youtu.be/00mzrU1E7Ak?t=491s

>>725121251
But we don't actually see the man's lips saying PSX, so it was never said on video.

>>725106303 (OP)
the correct name is either one of these:

>la pley
>la play
>la psx
>la maquinita
>pon la nintendo
>el diablo
>hostia chaval la pley uno

none other name outside these ones are correct, take this into account because I was alive back then in mid-late 90s

are you illiterate you fucking retard? how have you managed to invert the schizo inferences itt? the schizo is OP, arguing it wasn't colloquially referred to as the PSX, which it absolutely was. noone is arguing PSX was officialy branding. or are you actually just OP and brainbroken?
