but, if you were around back then, like i was, you would know people DID call it the PSX.
>When they pronounce SNES phonetically instead of as an acronym
>>333776869
People called it a Playstation. The PSX was a completely different thing.
>>333777062
yeah, it was
IN FUCKING 6TH GEN
fuck you kids. i know what i read in mags and shit. i HAVE mags that say PSX.
>>333777238
>calling people kids when you can't even capitalize your is
Great job there, retard.
>>333777010
Acronym means you would pronounce it phonetically you uncultured swine
You're thinking of an initialism
>>333777010
Hey man, the Sierra November Echo Sierra was awesome.
>>333777238
I had magazines that said PSX too.
No one actually fucking said "PSX" though. They said PlayStation.
>>333778329
nobody ever said GCN either
>>333777448
You are both wrong.
There's no such thing as pronouncing "phonetically".
Phonetics can be used to describe the way to pronounce SNES as both an initialism and an acronym, it doesn't designate which one.
I don't care what rules of English apply, I'm just really, really glad that I've still never encountered anyone in real life who pronounces NES/SNES as words.
>When Microsoft names their new console "Xbox One" just to confuse the shit out of people
>>333778743
ness. sness.
>>333776579
PS1 is also technically wrong.
The official abbreviation is just PS.
PS1 and PSX are both common fanmade abbreviations.

>>333776579
its called a PlayStation
it was marketed to americans as PSX
it became PS1 when PS2 was announced
>>333779889
Because it's "the one" entertainment device you'll need in your home.
Marketing people are so fucking stupid.
>>333780046
>it was marketed to americans as PSX
No, it really wasn't.
Only unofficial sources used the term. Sony did not.
>>333779375
>not wanting this bad boy
>>333779889
Because it was advertised as the "all-in-one" home entertainment device when they were pushing the TV shit.

theyre playing the long game this gen. theyre banking on sony blowing their load in the first few years, since they have a way larger theoretical install base with win10.
nvidia grid? pff, with MS money, i could theoretically (this is their late game plan) strap an xbone controller to my phone or tablet and stream 4k 60fps cloud computed games. MS has been low-key instigating most of the vidya related fighting on the net between everyone but xbox.

Microsoft legitimately believed that people would call it "The One". They must have really loved The Matrix.

>when they call a Gamecube "GCN"
>>333778475
Never understood that. Gamecube Nintendo?
Jesús fuck when will you guys learn?
the PSX is the latest version of the PS1, like the PS2 slim and the PS3 slim.
only they didn't call it slim, the called it X
>>333781342
NGC was already trademarked in the USA
>>333781474
They actually called it the PSONE
See: >>333780337
>>333780195
I wanted one of these but they didnt sell them in my area, I always thought it was retarded that the gamecube didnt play dvds when all their competitors did.
>>333780704
somebody confused me with neo the other day.
I don't know if to be flattered or ashamed
>>333781650
Wasn't that part of the reason why the ps2 sold so god damn well?
>>333781474
You are wrong. PSX was a modified PS2, not PS.
-PS, PSOne
-PS2, PSX, PS2 Slim
-PS3, PS3 Slim, PS3 Super Slim
>>333781694
I believe so, also the massive library was a huge plus.
I said Playstation in person but typed it as PSX, as did many other people before the ps2 came out. Unofficial or not, the abbreviation was still widely used on the net

Waiting for the Xbox one Matrix Commercial.
can't call it ps1 because ps-one was a thing.
not gunna call it 'PS' cause you'd be like 'PS what?'

yes and the 6th final fantasy game was 3. 'murica...

>when mum calls me by my first name
>>333783216
Remind me what the SNES release of VI was called in Europe.
>>333783316
it's even worse when it's a weird name.
I try to get called by my second name, and then somebody screw it up and I give up
>>333776738
That's what it was officially called for most of the world outside of America, you braindead fucking Clap.
>>333779006
PSX was game mag made

i know because i have physical proof from 1994-95
>>333781814

>>333785132

Underage scrub that's what it was called before there was a PS2
>>333785274
Damn, then just what were they doing during PS3/4's launch

just some hoighty toighty marketing slogany type of nonsense
>>333785890
>>333781974
Not OP, but what was the point in the X? Was the abbreviation "PS" already trademarked?
>>333779889
Because it had everything in one console. TV, games, movies, music, kinect games.

>when people say "sixth gen!" like that's a thing normal people ever actually called it, as though people know what that means without looking it up
It literally comes from someone making up the name and putting it on Wikipedia and newfags didn't know any better
>>333778743
Literally everyone in the UK does this btw.
>>333783216
>can't call it ps1 because ps-one was a thing.
Outside of anal retentive ass munches, you can get away with calling the thing PS1 and everyone will get what you mean. No one seriously gives a shit.

>>333787873
i know, i saw a LOT of shit that isn't fucking 1st party, which is what you SHOULD be thinking of when you think of Playstation.
>>333787962
Sony has always been more about 3rd parties than 1st party. I mean, fuck, their first big title was Ridge Racer, an arcade port. The big PS2 game was GTA, a franchise that started on PC etc etc.
>>333788438
sure, but RR was a Playstation game
GTA 3 VC and SA were all on PS2 first and didn't hit XB until like 2005
>>333781085
that was smart, what the fuck happened with the xbone
>>333781752

Who's the retard now, faggot?

Ridge Racer was an arcade game that got a home port to PlayStation.
