great thread i love the inclusion of the reddit faces

I'm sure all the ants on /vr/ will enjoy the image
it's the PS1. even when there was no PS2 it was the PS1, simple as

No amount of seething will ever defeat picrel, it is the first and last response needed because it wins the argument and all comments after are just sputtering nonsense, delusional denials and white noise.

It was the GapeStation

>>12155805
Its already defeated in the image
It was a easy 3 letter abbreviation people used but no one called it PSX in normal conversation

>>12155791 (OP)
i called it psx

People said "playstation" IRL and often "PSX" online or in mags.
Once the PlayStation 2 came out it was more specific to say PS1 or PSX even IRL.
Wow, amazing.

>People said "playstation" IRL and often "PSX" online or in mags.
I said PSX in real life since 1996

Me and my friends called it "Playstation" when playstation 2 came out, it became PS1 and PS2

We read video game magazines religiously and never called it PSX.

PSX more like gay guy sex

who the fuck cares, just use either name you hyperautists

>It was a easy 3 letter abbreviation people used
Well there we go. PSX means PlayStation. The image delivers once again. A thousand years from now people will still be whining about PSX not being an abbreviation for PlayStation and as always this image will do its duty. It will be posted on Mars.

>>12155805
The fact that this picture was made a decade ago and people still seethe over it is best proof that arguing with strangers on the internet is a waste of time, because they just reject what they disagree with.

>>12155812
>It was a easy 3 letter abbreviation people used but no one called it PSX in normal conversation
Yeah true. But even that statement is admitting it was used as an abbreviation. So it was in fact "PSX" in text, but in verbal conversations people usually just said PlayStation.

>>12155830
*And then PS1 to distinguish it from PS2, as >>12155821 said

Attn everybody: It doesn’t matter. Waste of time.

>he didnt called Sega Genesis "SGX" to abbreviate it
>he didnt call Super Nintendo "SNX" to abbreviate it
>but for some reason, he decided to call playstation "PSX" even though it makes zero sense, because a magazine told him to.

I call this the PSX because it's a PSX.

Calling the Playstation the PSX is like saying that Doom is meant to be played with only a keyboard. You're basically outing yourself as a zoomer who is trying to look like a boomer.

>>12155850
Correct, and it's also called GC because it's GameCube and not GameCubeNintendo.

Bro, I was literally there, magazines called it Psx the whole time, you fucking mongoloid.

We don't need your garbage thread.

Pleikkari ykkönen

Do people really don't understand the concept of writing form? Of course you didn't say THE PEE ESS ECKS irl out loud, but it was the accepted method for writing for years. No one wrote "The Playstation" because it was too much effort. This was around the era in which language was butchered to save on key strokes.

The only ones angry at the PSX acronym are late millennials and early zoomers too illiterate and/or sheltered to read magazines during the second half of the 90s. It's basically a cry from people who didn't experience the golden era of vidya with full consciousness. The screech of impotence and rage.

>>12155791 (OP)
Playstation is how you pronounce it.
PSX is how you write it.
PS1 is how zoomers think it was written before the PS2 came out.

>>12155947
>PSX is how you write it.
nobody wrote psx

>>12155962
Shut the fuck up zoomie.

>>12155970
You wrote that?

>>12155867
But it is Japanese, they do last name first and first name last, so GCN is correct.

Shut the fuck up zoomie.

Capcom says it's PSX.

>>12155791 (OP)
All terms were used interchangeably in eastern Canada. LESS SO OUT LOAD FOR PSX, but on paper/lables at game stores it wasn't uncommon to see PSX. Seeing PS1? That's obviously stupid since PS2 wasnt out yet. That small Playstion I think was called the PSONE lol and yeah people started saying it around that time.


Dont even get me started on S-N-E-S vs SNEZ (Sn-eh-ezz) or just plain "I played it on Super" which was very rare from that one kid who wore sweat pants and

>>12155947
playstation is how you USED to pronounce it. now it's the 'pee ess one'

>>12156013
Shut the fuck up zoomie.
Literally everyone pronounced it and wrote it how I said. Kids used to write me notes all the time saying "Greetings, I wish for you to come to my home and play the PSX this holiday season"

>>12156018
blud is santa claus

>>12155791 (OP)
OP got dunked on in the PSX thread on /v/ and came here to shit up the place.

>>12155991
Nobody called it GCN, and it is incorrect to do so. It is GC and always has been.

>>12155791 (OP)
you're objectively correct but remove the redditjaks, they dilute the truth with cringe

>>12156071
revisionist cube hater.

>>12156018
Seething retard zoomie
Get owned

>>12156125
No, I read a variety of video game magazines like Edge. It was only ever called GCN as per the official Nintendo press guidelines.

>>12155812
>no one called it PSX in normal conversation
We did.

>>12155826
especially on 4chan, some nigger will tell you to post pic/timestamp whatever, you will oblige and they will move the goalpost over and over. been there, done that, especially in video game boards.

>>12155842
>even though it makes zero sense
that was the original code name, dumbo. you weren't there just like everybody who claims nobody called it the psx

>>12156214
holy fuck you're retarded lmao
>dude I called the sega saturn "Aurora" at school, all the kids did it too

!!!ATTENTION EVERYBODY!!!

It doesn’t matter. This is a waste of your time. Do something with your faggot life.

>>12156320
>immediately move the goalpost
concession accepted

if you say so faggot, i'm still gonna call it the psx and you literally will never be able to stop me much like how you'll never have sex with a human being

>>12156335
You and the boys going to go play some "Katana" now?

It's called the Sony System

>>12155791 (OP)
I said "PSX" all the time to my friends in high school. Because I read game magazines and because it's faster. Then when the PS2 came out it become the PS1.

>If you were straight you called it PSX (=Procreative SeX)
>If you were gay you called it PlayStation (=GayStation)
PS1/One = underage

>>12155805

everyone in knew called it sony.
>lets go x house and play sony
>theres a new sony coming out
>i need a new sony controller
