That people who complain about PSX are underage and probably probably autistic.

Nowadays I call it a "regular Nintendo" or "N-E-S"

I call all Nintendo systems "Game Buddy" and Sony systems "Play Games"

I don't give a fuck, where I live we all called it "play", then "play 1" when the play 2 came out.

>>3909787
>tfw can only afford chinese knockoffs

>>3909813
You need to go back

We called it "the PlayStation" back then, it only became "PS1" when talking about it in hindsight after the PlayStation 2 came out.

>>3909820
But the original PlayStation is different from the PSone.

>>3909383
Since I'm not an American, PSX was never in my vocabulary. We used to call it just "play". After the PS2 launched we started calling it "play 1" (play um)

Still a Sony PlayStation, though.

yeah, but its a separate thing

Anyone who pronounces "Ness" is an underage. "sness" however is a eurofag staple

a ps2

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSX_(digital_video_recorder)

and it came out in 2003

psx namefags are just being stupid.

>>3910208
not to mention the fact that it only came out in japan.

>>3910195
the PSX was a console. It was Sony's first video game console, released in 1994. At the time of release, publications and retailers abbreviated it to "PSX", which is how it was known internally and externally for a long time. The model you are referring to is something released after the PS2, and before your birth.

So we're at the "link to the Wikipedia article for Sony's DVR" portion of this argument. Now someone needs to post scans of old video game magazines that call the first PlayStation the "PSX".

>>3909457
The inferior American Famiclone

>>3909841
I've never met anyone who seriously thought I meant the PSone when referring to the "PS1". That takes a lot of deliberately disingenuous behaviour.

PSX if you're typing it and are an oldfag, just doing it out of habit. PS1 out loud obviously, unless you're aspie as fuck

>>3909383
THRILLHO

There's actually two things called PSXs. Neither one contradicts that the other was used.

There's the PSX model of the 2 which was the DVR/PS2 hybrid, yes, but also the PS1 really was referred to as the PSX by multiple valid sources.

Pointing out that one exists doesn't suddenly make the other one not be.

>>3910235
This. Faggots in this thread are braindead.

i've had a few friends over the years that have called NES "regular nintendo"

anyone else encounter this?

>>3910216
>and before your birth.

you're really pathetic. I mean acting tough and angry over a name issue, holy shit.

PSX in the US, PS in the rest of the world. PS1 after the PS2 came out.

>>3910207
>Anyone who pronounces "Ness" is an underage.
Fuck that. I'm pushing 40 and we always said "ness".

Why? Because the punk's name in Nintendo Power was Nester, not En-Ee-Es-Ter. And the main character in Earthbound was named Ness.

The PSX was only called the PSX in America (and Euro?) because English speakers need three-letter acronyms (TLA) for some reason. In Japan it was always referred to as PS, and that's why nobody got confused when they released the PSX.

>>3909746
It's funny you say that because PSX is actually something completely different.

>>3910195
It was a PS2 with video recording.

>>3910229
I never owned a PS1. What's the actual difference?

>>3910478
The PSone is the PS1 Slim.

>>3910480
But it runs the same software? Do you nitpick when people call a PS2 slim a PS2?

>>3910475
yeah I looked it up. I'm the one who linked the wikipedia article.

>>3910482
it runs the same as far as I know. And no, nobody nitpicks unless its for aesthetic reasons.

>>3909457
"Original Nintendo"

>>3910270
that's what my family did and still does
people called it the Nintendo and when the Super Nintendo came out that was the obvious way to differentiate which kind of Nintendo you meant

>>3910460
The loose rule with acronyms is that you only pronounce them like words if they make up a real word like or if they're too long to reasonably refer to by the letters (like NAMBLA). I mean, would you pronounce CNN like "sun?"

Plus Nester is just some lame apocryphal comic with no real authority.

>>3910560
>Plus Nester is just some lame apocryphal comic with no real authority.
It was in Nintendo Power magazine, which was the closest thing to an authority we had in 1988. Were you even born yet?

>>3910560
So I guess you refer to GIF files as jee-ai-eff files, SIM cards as ess-ai-em cards, and ZIP codes as zee-ai-pee codes? Right?

>>3910612
All I'm saying is it's an anecdotal reference at best for the purpose of this thread.

>>3909705
>PSOne
This guy gets it.

>>3909457
ファミコン

>>3909605
>>3909606
There was that one Rugrats game starring Angelica Pickles which had a marker writing of girl and an arrow pointing to an erased Boy on the Game Boy logo.

>>3910625
Well, SIM and ZIP are real words (or at least sim is a common abbreviation that's taken on a life of its own), so that doesn't go against what I said. GIF is a more ambiguous part of the computing lexicon that is accepted as its own "word" because it resembles a real word or a popular peanut butter brand.

Like all rules, this is not exact or rigid, but it does follow the pattern I outlined.

>>3910641
>accepted as its own "word" because it resembles a real word or a popular peanut butter brand
yes exactly, which is just like how we got "ness" from Nester. Your acronym rule is too flexible to be used as a solid counterargument.

Either way it's irrelevant because, simply put, I was there man. Almost all of us (not everybody, but almost) said "ness". Why use three syllables when you can say it in one?

Maybe there were some pockets of N-E-S speakers around the country, who knows. We didn't shoot the breeze on the Internet like we do now.

But I'm telling you, and this is historical fact, many of us called it the "ness". Come up with all the grammar rules you want, it won't change that reality.

>>3910628
>ファミコン (in VCR lookalike case with inferior unreliable cartridge-loading design)

>>3910664
I'm not saying it's outlandish that your circle came up with this, nor that you were the only ones that did. I'm just pointing out that it goes against convention, because the post with the Nester comic was so emphatic. Talking about how you didn't have the Internet during this period only serves to demonstrate a narrow perspective.

If you make up a name or affectionate colloquialism that plays off an acronym, that doesn't affect the original rule of the acronym in reverse. For example, when I listen to a Mets broadcast and Keith Hernandez calls an RBI "ribeye steak" or a "ribbie," that's amusing, but I'm not going to suggest that's correct outside of casual parlance.

>>3910664 nah dude I was there too, NESS was used but it was mainly N.E.S. or Nintendo

>>3910664
"Ness" Dafuq do you live in the mid west or south or something

>>3910684
>>3910690
I'm not surprised or trying to deny that other pronunciations existed. "Nintendo" was also very common, particularly among parents and non-gamers who would not immediately understand what "ness" meant.

I was originally responding to >>3909463 and >>3910207 claims that only the ignorant or underaged said ness. In my experience it was the exact opposite. Calling it the "Nintendo" made you sound like somebody's mom. And like I said, the existence of things like the Nester comic and the Earthbound Ness character reinforced our idea that ness was the most natural pronunciation.

It'd be cool to make one of those dialect maps like they have for coke/soda/pop. There was probably strong regional variation depending on where you lived.

>>3910696
Both actually, and you're right on. Ohio then Texas. So where were the N-E-S kids at?

>>3910478
>>3910482
The difference is on their backside.

>>3910813
that's kinda hardbreaking for someone like me who grew up with the original.

>>3910908
How many of those ports did you actually use though?

Also...

only ketchup mustard mayo and the power one- but its aesthetics. I haven't touched the original in years and I wanna go through the same traditions again.

Also interesting comparison; does it make any games look worse?

>>3910924
>Also interesting comparison; does it make any games look worse?

That depends on whether you're blind or not.

You saw the picture m8. Think of all the games you like which are supposed to have smooth tonal gradations and ask yourself the following question:

Either way, you can't unsee it now muahahaha.

No, I'm still curious if every game looks better since not all games look the same.

Point aside, Nintendo hasn't been considered direct competition to Sony or anyone else for that matter since the late 90's. Relevant gaming was starting to catered almost exclusively to late teens/adult gamers, whereas Nintendo remained centered around children.

>>3914617
Define "relevant".

>>3914617
>Point aside
Then why are you posting it? Who are you talking too?

>>3914617

The Gamecube got most of the same multiplats that PS2 and Xbox got 6th gen, I'd say it was definitely still competing then, even if PS2 outsold everything else.

>>3909398
>show how young you are.
ew, i don't like you. Why do you even care about that kind of shit. I just imagine a 40 year man getting pissed at 20 year old kids for getting into retro gaming, and then caring. yuck. I just don't like you at all, had to get that out there.

>>3909407
exactly

Listen, Im going to settle this cause its stupid and it doesn't even matter. You guys ready?

PSX --> essentially this was the working development title of the sony playstation. there are actual prototype models that exist under this official surname. Development kits such as the Net Yaroze (black) and DTL-H1001 (blue) are their own separate entity form the PSX. In essence, the PSX doesn't even exist as far as the consumer is concerned. See pic for PSX

PS
PS1
Think of these two models as exactly the same thing. The PS or PS1 is what you probably have! Its that grey looking console. There are different variations, but a PS and a PS1 are the exact same thing. Why did they call it the PS1 then? Well when the PS2 came out, nobody new which Playstation you were referring to if you just said "hey come play my Playstation," hence the term PS1 was forged.

PSOne
In 2000 Sony developed a slim version of the PS1. It supports its own personal LCD screen and is generally a pretty system to own, but personally I find that the original PS has better laser reading than this model just from my own personal experience.

OH LOOK! A PSX

is a fag.

>>3910081
>Over 20 lbs of pizza!

It's the GAYSTATION you dick sucking faggots.

>>3915772
This.

Even here in europe gaming magazines were calling it the PSX.

When you got so much 3 letter nicknames like N24, NES etc. you don`t hesitate to add an X, even if it doesn't make any sense. Also it was the 90`s, everything with additional X`es was cool... XXXL, XTREME.

PS was just to short and unspecific.

>>3915772
>PS1
Again that therm was purely created by magazines, right after the PS2 came out... before they produced PSones. There wasn`t any "PS1" model you disinfo shill.

>>3915772
PSX was used as a developer codename, used in the firmware of the machine, and used in the early 1994 dev kits. Then it was used as a marketing name in north America for a short while.

By that time most of the media was already calling it PSX; you had ads for PSX console and games, you had some games saying they were specifically made for the PSX, you had the PSX Magazine, etc.
In late 99 / early 2000, before it came out, the Playstation 2 was also referred to as PSX2 by many magazines.

When the PS2 came out, it had big "PS2" on its side, so no one referred to it as PSX2 anymore. It was PS2. And then Sony released the PSOne, a mini version of the first console. Then a few years later they did a failed PS2 + DVR combo, officially called PSX.

So, we have
PSX - the first playstation console (codename, marketing name)
PSX2 - informal/made up name for the Playstation 2, used before the machine was released by magazines.
PS2 - official abbreviation for the second Playstation
psOne - mini version of the Playstation 1.
PSX - Japan only Playstation 2 + DVR combo.

But you know the abbreviation that they never officially used even in developer context? PS1. That's a retronym made up due to the presence of PS2 and PS3 in the mid 00s.

PS1 is more unused than PSX.

>>3915772
that had so much cancer i half expected the Babbage's gramps trip on your post

If Sony intended for the Playstation to be called a "PSX" why did they use "PSX" for the name of an entirely different console later on? :)

He was OK before he adopted a persistent identity. Now it's just a 24/7 ego trip...

>>3917951
Only SoA wanted to adopt the PSX monicker.

SCEI shut them down good and proper just like they did with pic related, another misguided abortion.

>Only one DICKS
Disappointed

>>3917951
It was a development codename, which made it into very early marketing (probably by mistake). A significant part of the gaming media adopted it, and the name stuck for the entire life of the console.

>why did they use "PSX" for the name of an entirely different console later on? :)

Because the Japanese give zero shits about what the rest of the world calls their consoles.

>>3917798
