People in 1999 referred to the then-upcoming PlayStation 2 system as the "PSX2".

>> No.10500813

Because PS1 was called PSX. Why are making a thread assuming no one here was alive in 99?

Friendly reminder that the official abbreviation, just like its logo, is just "PS"

>> No.10500862

>>10500845
Whatever was the "official," the fact is that a lot of people, devs included, referred to it as PSX. There's plenty of evidence all over, from anecdotal, to websites, to print, to old prototype/preview/review discs from the 90s and 2000s labeled as PSX.

But won't the naming get confusing when the Playstation 10 comes out?

>> No.10500890

One of my friends had a Playstation and he was super autistic about the name, he'd get mad if anyone called it a "PS." He insisted that it was "the PSX," and I loved to tease him by calling it "PS." Every time he got mad, I'd reply, "show me where in the box they call it PSX and I'll call it PSX."
I distinctly remember that when the PS2 was announced, I told him, "see? it's the PS2, not the PSX2."

>> No.10500895

>>10500862
That's nice and all, in the wake of something significant existing called the PSX now it's pointless to call an entirely different platform PSX.

why are you denying this exists?

Because it did not exist yet when people were most commonly referring to PlayStation as PSX in text. The majority had already switched to PS1 anyway when this abomination released.

I miss when the PS2 was referred as the "PlayStation 2000". There was no official name for a while, only rumours.

Also the PSOne was informally called Playstation 1.5 for a while.

I called the PlayStation PSX back in 1996 but started referring to it as the PS1 later on.
