Why do people call ps1 “psx”. wikipedia says psx is a digital video recorder for playstation 2

at this point the people pretending nobody called it the PS1 or playstation are more ridiculous than the people who pretend no one called it the PSX

it was always PlayStation 1 in Europe.
Only Amerisharts and maybe anglos call it PSX.

>it was always PlayStation 1 in Europe.
No it was always Playstation.
Playstation 1 or PS1 only started when the PS2 was announced.

because of
1) habit, tradition, historical use, and
2) consistency. if you talk about the ps2, psp and ps3, putting just ps together with them looks off.
calling it ps1 is a thing done by posterity, aka zoomers who have grown up after the launch of the ps2

>it was always PlayStation 1 in Europe.
Nope

Why the fuck would I stop using an abbreviation I've used for over 25 years?

I never heard of psx until a few months ago. It seems like historical revisionism.

because it hurts his feelings apparently lol

Nah, people called ps1 psx back before most of Yea Forums was born. I think it was mostly because three character initialisms for consoles were kind of the norm at the time.

Nah bro it's Mandela Effect you're from another universe!

Keep ignoring the early post because it's inconvenient. The reason you never heard PSX is because you're a larping zoomer who didn't live in the 90s

God I wish I had that sleek motherfucker.

Wasn't it also a PS2 player?

I am so fucking sick of people born after 9/11

I just called it playstation but but I saw it called PSX in magazines. I always took it to be a grouping of the PlayStation and PlayStation One (which I owned).

The Playstation's bootstrap logo even calls itself the PS-X.

That's nice but I was alive at the time and nobody in real life called it a PSX. Nobody.

>they called it PlayStation 1 prior to PlayStation 2 existing
Ask me how I know you’re a retarded zoomer dipshit.

I think this is what’s happening. People have started calling hair metal “glam metal” too

then you probably grew up with the revised model, so it has always been the "ps one" for you because it was written on the damn thing

Is the PSX/PS1 the biggest zoomer filter? They can't comprehend why it would be silly to name your first console with a "1" before you even know if you're going to make a second one.

and meant loader.

Also evidently there was going to be a control pad with double d-pads. Most likely canned because of the dual analog stick design instead.

PS-X Control PAD Driver Ver 3.0
TYPE : Dual cross key -> not supported!
TYPE : 6 free button or flying-V form
TYPE : Unknown (%d) -> not supported!

ah man, I forgot how fucking kino those old sites are.
Ps. fuck psx niggers.

Then explain the Atari 2600?
Checkmate.

I kneel.

Would have been funny if it was PS-WiiUx

the real filtered ones are the brainlets who don't understand that, even though they just called it "the playstation" with their classmates, the psx moniker was still in use online and in magazines

Ok, so what does the X stand for?

fake
10/17/97? dude, there's only 12 months, your a retard

That was possible, not like you could upload it online though

holy schizoli

The PS2(and probably even the PS3) have existed for their entire lives, they just can't comprehend that the first installment of something is rarely ever labeled "1" unless it was planned to be a multipart release.

It’s just supposed to be cool

Didn't come around until the design for the Atari 5200 was finalized so they can say "it has twice the power of the 2600". It was original the Atari Video Computer System and ads and companies called it the VCS.
The "more power because the number is higher!" is also why they called the third system the 7800 as it was a "5200+2600 combined!".

I only know about it because back in the 2000s every iso dump site called it that

It was a PS2+DVR. I had one before my entire vidya collection was ruined in a basement flood

Had no idea there was a 7800. Ta

First time I’ve laughed on Yea Forums in like a year. True boomerchad.

Fuck user. How did it happen. Weather or pipes?

The best part is that he posted it on the Sega board.

Savage.

It never existed. Sony has always been at war with Sega.

Playstation was originally planned to be a SNES CD extention. Playstation 'X' was the Sony internal designation is for the standalone CD based console based on SNES CD groundwork.

based, got the seethers going
