Hey guys I don't see any 'PSX' here, are you sure that's what the PlayStation was really called?

See how the name is in quotes? That's because the real name of the system was PSX.

Hold up, wasn't "PSX" a codename for the system back in the early days, but magazines never bothered to call it the PS1 or the Playstation?

Nintendo actually did this with "GCN" for the Gamecube. They literally sent out press releases that asked the media to use GCN instead of GC or NGC because they thought it sounded nicer.

I know right, calling PS1 a PSX is dumb, that’s like still referring to the Dreamcast as Katana, or GameCube as dolphin, or Switch as NX.

What happened is some stupid edgy teens in the 90’s never got the memo that X was just for the prototypes. But because being unironically edgy was cool back then, they clung on to the X because X sounds 2edgy4u.

>> No.5253923

I’ve never in my entire life heard anyone call it the PSX, back in the day everyone I knew just called it “The PlayStation”. Then when PS2 came out everyone called it the PS1.

Is this a British thing? Because here in America (or at least where I grew up) nobody ever called it PSX.

My first time even hearing that name is when I started coming here.

It's because there's a real-life organization that uses NGC as it's acronym. It's the same reason why WWF became WWE.
