In actual conversation, PlayStation. Online, as shorthand, PSX, then after the PS2 was announced, PS1 was also used. Either is still correct but PS1 is typically easier now in both online and offline conversation. PSOne was a model-specific product.
Does that clear things up?

Oak is kind of a fool. Dude lost every Pokemon he ever caught save three. And then he gives two of them away. Alzheimer's doesn't explain that; senility does, though.

It was also a marketing name for a little while, long enough that tons of magazines and ads kept using it as well as everyone online.

It's pronounced Playstation. How it's written is by its abbreviation.
I, like everyone else who isn't autistic, switched to writing PS1 when the PS2 came out. The PS3, PS4, and PS5 have only given me more reasons to refer to the first PlayStation as the PS1.
If someone uses PSX to refer to the PS1 I assume they just came out of a cryo-tube a la Futurama.

It's less "edgy" and more the system just needed a 3-4 letter abbreviation like the other consoles (N64, GEN, SNES, ect). Sony just knew PS was the logical abbreviation for the playstation and used the development X as a third letter instead of going with something like "PSN".

I think because of Windows 95 some third party programs were written to check if it was running on that older OS or a more recent one by looking for "name like '%9%'" so they didn't use "Windows 9" to avoid breaking those programs in a way that would mistakenly seem like a Microsoft bug even though it'd be the third party vendors' faults.

Who the fuck fails so hard at branding and marketing that magazines and everyone still use the development name well after launch? Has anyone ever refered to the N64 as the "Ultra 64" or the Gamecube as "Dolphin" after release?

That's exactly what I'm saying.
Also yes, Sony did call it the PSX during pre-launch marketing. Journos wouldn't make shit up like that for something as important as console, it's not like saying "Silent Hill 5!" to talk about the next name-currently-undecided Silent Hill game.

in short
>Sony of America started using the name PSX to distinguish the thing from the planned CD addon for SNES which tons of magazines had talked about
>just before launch they changed their mind
>too fucking late, everybody was already using PSX

There are also two key differences with other consoles: Sony started using PSX to promote the end product; other examples like "Ultra 64" were names while the console was in dev, not when it was finished.
Secondly PSX was close enough to the end name that it was able to stick without sounding weird.

Holy shit dude. The original PS1 could read burnt disc. Sony had to damage control and release another version that doesn't in the first few years. You could literally buy burnt PS1 games on the street or at school. How did any of this happen if there are no warez community? How young are you?

Except that was a pre-launch codename for the console, meaning "PSX" has still never been an official term for the final, officially released PlayStation. As >>7486436 said, a released system isn't referred to by its codename or working title. "PS-X" isn't even the same as the fan/journo one "PSX", even if the latter unofficial one is inspired by or based on the former. Cope.

While Playstation was the current gen console, you're right. I'm sure "PSX" was used in print the same way Nintendo carts used to be called "GAME PAKS" but nobody really said it.

Once PS2 came out, it did however, become called all of the above. PSX wasn't ever said verbally but it was spelled out that way often, the "X" was supposed to be some visual representation of the sound much like how people called Christians "Xtians", it doesn't make sense but it was a thing.

Nice moving the goalpost from "it was never an official term" to "it was never an official term post launch". The later being something noone ever said happened, so yeah, by moving the goalpost to something everybody's already agreed on, you're right indeed, congratulations.

Everyone used both, though the only reason they sounded out the letters of PSX is because you can't speak it phonetically like NES(which people constantly and interchangeably swapped with Nintendo when referring to the NES or SNES, sometimes in the same breath).
