Why do people call the PS1 the PSX?
thats what it was gonna be called originally
>>342515448
Because it was the console's original project name, and the gaming media itself adapted the term and used it all the way up until PS2 came around.
because when you see it you turn x degrees and walk away

Why not just call it the PS?
What does the extra letter actually accomplish?
>>342515880
Same thing as with NDS, GCN, etc. They just stuck, plus PS kinda sounds like PC.
>>342515880
Because PS is a brand now, not a device. PS1 became the proper term once PS2 was released, and PSX was used before that.

In Japan it was called PS or Playstation,PSX is a term that Gen Z faggots made up.

Even more in some other languages.

Nobody would've called the console "The PS1" before the PS2 was announced and saying "The Playstation" might've lead to confusion as to whether you were talking about the brand or console.
Also, Playstation X, was a term that was used in some advertisements early on and journalist kind of clung onto the PSX abbreviation.

PS1, PSX, that other PSX, PSOne...
Fuck that whole naming convention 2bh
>>342515448
It says PSone right on the console

I call it "the best videogame console that was ever created"

I do. And my point still stands.
Especially when written, PC and PS can be mixed up when read hastily, and the pronunciation can be very similar in some parts of the world.
People who use the term 'PSX' in spoken conversation need to die.

Why did they go for buttons that were untypable?
Anyone can type ABYX, or ABCXYZ, why did they go with X, O, triangle, square? Just makes guides harder to type out and read.

PS/1 and PS/2 (personal system) were current lines of IBM computers at the time. it was in sony's interest to promote a distinct term as a precautionary measure for both marketing and legal reasons

Only applies when it's written, and most people don't even use the term PC or PS while speaking. And you're still saying S sounds similar to C on English when spelled, but it doesn't.
