This is the problem here. You were 5 to 7 year old when the term PSX still was commonly used.

It's also a fact everyone called the Playstation PSX back in the day on internets no matter what you shitpost.

I know you are baiting/shitposting but:

During development the original Playstation was known as Playstation X (X standing for either eXperimental or eXpansion depending on your source) but for some reason Sony dropped the X before the system was released. However gaming journalists at the time (gaming magazines in particular) kept using the acronym PSX and most gamers also kept using it on internets all the way up to the time Playstation 2 and PSOne, the new resigned version of the original Playstation came out. At this point the acronyms and their meaning were crystal clear to everyone: PSX meant the original grey version of the original Playstation and the new smaller redesign of it was referred as PS1.

Yes, there was another box called PSX in Japan. No one bought it and it wasn't and still isn't anyway relevant to the rest of the world except for underage shitposters on internet forums.

To this day I still wonder where the fuck the Internet got the idea that everyone has always called the original Playstation PS1 before Playstation 2 even came out?
