I'll be fair and say that I have no clue how the console was discussed outside of the US, but anyone who was alive and old enough to be aware of videogame discussion would absolutely know and admit that PSX was a commonly used abbreviation. Did a lot of people say it out loud when discussing the console? I don't know, to be honest I don't remember what I said 20 years ago, I probably just said PlayStation, but it was absolutely common to see it in print as the go-to abbreviation.

I don't get it.
Why are some people obsessed by calling it PSX? Yeah it was sometimes used by some people in the very early days of the system, and some western magazines/publishers kept calling it that for a few more years, but what gives? Why the obsession?
Neither PS ecks or PS wan is right anyway, it's PS.

When i was a teen everyone in my area called the original "psx" and the re-released slim version "psone" to tell them apart. Even google image searching the two terms demonstrates that convention. Just because you didn't experience that says nothing about the rest of the world.

When I was a teen, everyone just say playstation or "play" for short. I know english-speaking countries wouldn't call it "play" because it's like a normal verb to them, but did you guys really said "pee ess ecks"?

I really can't recall how often, but i distinctly remember hearing people call it "pee- ess- ecs", at least some of the time. Most likely is people used the term in conversation when the difference between PSone and PSX was important to them, such as a kid being bought a new console and wanting to distinguish it.

Because nearly every topic of conversation involving 2 decade old video games is wore out.

I notice that anyone who started gaming after the PS2 came out, called the first model the PS1. Babies who didn't have the PSX will insist that their reality is the correct one.

That's a lie and you know it anon. We rarely have threads about less popular games, or arcade games that aren't fighters, beat em ups, or shoot em ups. There's tons of territory to cover, we just have a lot of /v/ermin infesting the board with meme threads and whining about popular games.

The big question is why does Sony continue to use "PSX" so often for different things? It was for the OG PlayStation It was for the PSX hybrid PS2/DVR. It is now for the PlayStation Experience.

This is the only part that confuses me. The P.S.X. magazine posted above says right on the cover "the #1 unofficial playstation magazine". Ziff davis later got permission to relaunch an official magazine, OPM, but they completely dropped the use of PSX in the pages after the magazine relaunched in late 1997 (volume 1 issue 1 of OPM is readable online and the word PSX does not appear once in that or any subsequent issue). The other magazine called PSM was also unofficial for it's first few years until they were eventually allowed to call it the official magazine.

PSX was used heavily by game journalists in 1996 before and shortly after it's launch, no one disputes that, but most journalists dropped it by 1997 (for the same reason they no longer called the N64 the Ultra64). I have no idea why autists still fight over this.

Because when someone says some dumb shit like:

>Nobody ever called it PSX
And then you give proof
>Well, no one I know called it PSX
>Well, no one pronouced the "Ecks" sound at the end
>Everyone called it PlayStation

The problem with this line of discussion is that unless you spoken to EVERY owner and found that none of them did do what you are claiming no one did, then you are just making a generalization based on your circle of peers.

This is where autists have a problem. If it is not their way, it is wrong (which in and of itself is retarded) My PSX still works just fine, and yes, "PEE ESS ECKS" is what it is called within my circle. Everyone I know did call it that, but I also respect the fact that some people have different terminology. We call it that because that is what the magazines called before it came out. I never gave a damn what anyone else called it, but it is hilarious seeing users sperg out over it.

They shouldn't have called it PSX prior to its release. It will be the PSX and the PSone forever in my world, and I don't care who doesn't like it. I am realistic that most of these people wouldn't like many of my hobbies either.

>b-b-but a tiny fraction of devs and gaming journos called it PSX a few times!!!

Okay? And the vast vast majority of normal fucking people called it a playstation, also retroactively shortening it LATER ON to PS1 when the PS2 was unveiled.

Also I don't know about Europe, but nobody called it SNES in America. Normal people called it Super Nintendo (and the previous console was just the Nintendo). Official marketing also used the term "Super NES", as seen on the back of a Super Nintendo controller. But it was never ever referred to as SNES. That's an anachronism borne from the internet age.

I don't see people make that claim. They mostly just claim that PSX was the pre- release name and it's usage lingered through most of 1996. It's usage declined and then came back with a vengeance in the emulator community a few years later.

Also there was a difference between PSX in print and PSX in real world conversation. PSX was easy to type in IRC but when talking to people in real life they said "playstation" in conversations. I never heard a person actually say the word PSX aloud until years later in a used/retro game store in the early 2000s, and it came from a kid.

Very sporadically. The word "playstation" would appear in print hundreds of times per issue, while PSX appears maybe once or twice an issue, sometimes not at all, depending on which journalists were doing the article and if the editor cared or not. Pic related is from 1999 issue, and that was only used for wordplay on X-files.

Also keep in mind the "official" playstation magazine was just the same EGM editors and journalists doing a dedicated magazine and were not affiliated with sony whatsoever. They just cut a deal and got the demo discs and were allowed to use the name "official" and were expected to shill a bit harder than they did in normal Ziff Davis magazines.

We always called it simply the "Playstation" in America, though I remember seeing it referred to as PSX. I never heard it referred to as the PS1 until after the PS2 was announced. Why would they have denoted it as the first in a series before such frame of reference existed? It doesn't make sense.

The "PSX digital video recorder" version of the PS2 was never released outside of Japan, so we obviously never referred to that niche product when using the term.

Hey guys, did you know that noone called it the genesis back in the day? That's all a modern thing, people actually called it the Sega back in the day. Sure there was an article or two that called it the genesis but anyone who was around back then knows that nobody really called it that, prove me wrong.

Only for /vr/ pedantic posters who think they're special for knowing about the DVR unit... this is absolutely not a secret anywhere else. I was going to post a link to the early developer's manual but I can't find it anymore, sadly. PSX and PS-X acronyms are everywhere.

>the creation of the PSX has made the definitive name for the Playstation the PS1
A niche DVR and game console hybrid that was available exclusively in Japan where it was considered nothing more than an expensive curiosity that piqued almost nobody's interest and is only remembered by people who argue about the merits of calling the PlayStation the PSX in the first place is not the weapon I would carry and trust my life to as a culture cop.

*sigh*
40 years old. It was called both PlayStation and PSX (yes, PEE ESS ECKS). The term PSOne/PS1 came around due to the PS2 and pic related.

The tiny rounded PlayStation is the PSOne, the bigger one is the PSX. Both are PlayStations. Just like how a "new" 3DS and 3DS are both a 3DS.

There's a reason there's so much push back in these threads. Some of us grew up in areas where literally nobody ever said or wrote "psx" when referring to this system. Me and my friends only said playstation, and when me and my brother wrote our Christmas lists it was always "Playstation" until PS2 came out, then it was PS1 for convenience. Why is it so hard for some of you to accept, none of us cared what some early developers called the system.

>>	Anonymous Wed Oct 24 01:57:12 2018 No.5120908 I only called it the PSX because Gamefaqs had it listed like that in URLs for games, so it just kinda stuck for me before I learned that an actual thing called the PSX was real.

that was most of us

Its funny how game journalists quickly gave up on the ultra 64 immediately after release (because N64 was faster to type) but they never gave up on PSX after the X was officially dropped when the playstation was released.

Before the PS2 was announced, everyone simply called it PlayStation because that's what it was
Gaming mags loved the PSX codename and never gave it up. I'd wager they thought it sounded better and more "extreme" which is what 90's marketing was all about, so it was a match made in even for them
The PSOne remodel and PS2 eventually created the need to distinguish it as PlayStation 1 or PS1. Or PSOne, in writing, if you're specifically referring to the remodel
That's all
