Are you saying that these abbreviations come from the companies? I always assumed they were made by fans in order to talk to other fans online without typing out the entire console name every time.

>> No.10831592

>>10831568
the acronyms were started usually by mags/sites and they could be liable for the wrong use of them, I suppose

>> No.10831593

>>10831568
It's in the companies' interest to establish a problem-free acronym otherwise they get fucking Disney up their ass about National Geographic Channel. If it's printed enough in marketing materials and magazines it'll catch on.

>> No.10831616

>>10831593
National Geographic is not 100% owned by Disney 27% is still owned by The NatGeo Society proper.

Even as someone born in 1996, I remember seeing PSX top describe Playstation games and GCN for the Gamecube contemporaneously.

No one called the Xbox XB1 because it was the only one at the time. Hell, it wasn't even until the Xbox One came out that people called the OG Xbox just that because that is objectively a shit name and can get people confused. Shit thread.
