Was this ever debunked?
I did some search and what I have seen>from an official PlayStation magazine>there about 15 "PSX" mentions in that single issue, all on ads though but still>it's one of those try hard "PlayStation is for mature gamers" magazines bashing on kids stuff and anime>.... unless that kiddy game is published by Sony. Like Spyro. Then suddenly, you can trust the magazine on this, Spyro is actually for hardcore gamers too!!!In short I believe this "don't call it PSX" was demanded by Sony itself. Yes, PS-X originally was the *official* acronym of the PlayStation, as dictated by Sony, but by the time this article was made their marketing didn't want that anymore and they were probably laying the groundworks for the PSOne and PS2. Hence they needed to get rid of the X. In short it is my belief that this article is a smear campaign dictated by Sony's marketing.
>>120460914.5 inches but yeah
>>12046091I mean I doubt they had any problem with anyone calling the PS2 the PS2.
>>12046185So what's wrong with calling it the PS1 even if the PS2 didn't exist?
PSOne
Proof that true gamers say PSX and normies with their sex life and girlfriends and other gay shit say PS1
>>12046091>Was this ever debunked?
Mandatory
>>12046091The thing is Sony did officially come out with a PSX to lay to rest the PS1 being called that. It didn't sell well though. It was a PS1, PS2, and a DVR combined into one. It did have built-in internet and HDD up to 250 Gb (but 160 Gb was the standard), which is good for the era.
>>12046207Can we start calling this the GCQ?
>>12046209I've still never seen one of those in person. What does it do differently than a regular GC?
>>12046217>What does it do differently than a regular GC?it has two handles
>>12046217It plays dvds
>>12046217It plays DVDs and CDs. Super cool to have, but I think their prices are coming down because the disc drives are failing. Anyone here own one?
>>12046234In theory a cool idea. In actuality, who the hell didn't have a CD/DVD player by that point?There is some sense in Nintendo's angle of just making a console that plays games, because it's a games console, and that's what you're buying it for.
>>12046237>In actuality, who the hell didn't have a CD/DVD player by that point?In 2001? Most people. Are you forgetting that the PS2 that launched in 2000 was most people's first DVD player and it being a DVD player was a massive selling point?
>>12046091"Sexually repressed" is Freudian bullshit. Self-mastery is king.
>>12046091>PSXIs it Pee-Ass-Eks or Pee-Seks?
>>12046234I owned a used one for years and must have pirated the entire library including teh ps1ne minus unburnable copy protected ones no probs here mang
Saying Pee-Ess-Ecks out loud is much more convoluted than simply saying PlayStation. If you want to abbreviate when typing, why not use “PS”? I have the same problem when people type ‘GCN’, “GC” is right there. We're talking about video game consoles here, we don't need ISO 3166-1 Alpha-3 standards for that.Anyway, the other day I found a magazine I had back then that refer to it as “P.Station.”
>>12046091Is that the Cat from Red Dwarf?
>>12046206It doesn't make it any less of an abandoned term that Sony dropped. It's not even an initialism because the X doesn't stand for anything.>>12046401No that's Duane Dibley from Red Dwarf.
>>12046234I've seen one in person, I hate how it looks, it looks like a cheap mistery chinese bootleg device with its chromed plastic and led lights>>12046209GCQ
>>12046342peesks
>>12046407GCP, if the N in GCN stands for Nintendo, then P for Panasonicbut it's actually SL-GC10
>>12046407>you now remember people taking off their stereo face plates and hiding them in the glove box so their car doesnt get broken into
>>12046403Whether or not Sony stopped using it doesn't matter.The name "PS" is too short and common to denote anything, and the name "PSOne" showed up incredibly late."PSX" was the catch-all shorthand for it because it was the only good name. Being a massive faggot about it just shows you have some kind of complex or are arguing for the sake of arguing.
>>12046403Since when did an X ever have to stand for anything
PS1 >>> PS >>>>> PSone >>>>>>>>>>> PSX
>>12046442Since when it didn't? might as well leave in blank then, the PS .
>>12046403> It's not even an initialism because the X doesn't stand for anything.The X stands for>the new upgraded PlayStation after the one that was in development with Nintendo
>>12046403Who cares if it's abandoned? We play old game platforms regardless of them being abandoned, so we can call them whatever we want because the meaning wasn't lost, the only people who read "PSX" and think of a PS2 DVR are pedants who are intentionally ignoring the intention. What really sucks is when other people try to dictate the language other people use when it's obvious what the meaning is.
>>12046463what was upgraded?
>>12046419My stereo was still stolen because thieves quickly learned that everyone just put the faceplate in the glove box or armrest compartment. I had the pioneer stereo with the dolphin animated screen back in lime 2001.
>>12046472My only guess is the upgrade in the controller to dualshock.
>>12046472The Nintendo PlayStation to the Sony PlayStation.
>>12046416It's called the Panasonic Q, so GameCube Q or GCQ
>>12046403>No that's Duane Dibley from Red Dwarf.Its (maybe) kind of an interesting question actually. Dwayne the first was a hallucination of cat and the other 3 characters, never actually being real at any point.Pictured in op Dwayne is/was cat but with his "coolness" drained by a creature, making him act in the same manner as Dwayne. You could perhaps describe that person as 75% of cat?I dont actually have a conclusion or even a punchline for this beyond being pedantic.
>>12046475>I had the pioneer stereo with the dolphin animated screen back in lime 2001.fancy. i never had one but my friend had a dodge neon with a sony xplod
>>12046091nope, psxfags just claim it's shilling but they're not shilling because reasons
PEE SEX LOL
>>12046237That's just it, most people had a CD player (usually a multidisk unit) and a separate DVD player (assuming they actually had one). The idea of having a unified console for CDs, DVDs and video games for the home theater still hadn't been widely adopted until the sixth gen, it was a natural progression for home entertainment consoles.The real pioneers were the people playing VCDs off their 5th gen consoles by attaching a video decoding adapter. Those people had optical media home entertainment systems way before it was popular.
>>12046459PS is too short and generic, could stand for many things. PSX is a lot more obvious what you mean.
>>12046195John Holmes has 4 inch penor confirmed
>>12046206The fact you had to make this image proves no one says it.
>>12046091I miss when people ended rants with "nuff said".
>>12046091Crazy that there's this much infighting in the PS1 community. >Far right of nintendrones, lie the fagstation enjoyers, who will eat one another with enough fervor to join the French revolution. Just for using a technically correct term to describe the original PlayStation. Sony, truly the niggers of gaming
>>12046237>who the hell didn't have a CD/DVD player by that point?The overwhelming majority of people. Literally the primary reason the PS2 won.
>>12047438It was a nice bonus but it would have crushed the competition either way.
>>12047442It wasn't a bonus. It was the primary selling point in 2001. This isn't even a matter of opinion. My dad was outright trying to convince me to not be a tendie at 8 years old and ask him for the PS2 cause he wanted a DVD player.
honestly if you have the time to say 'playstation' you're a fucking dork, i've had sex with all of your mothers in the time i saved by saying psxin all seriousness, lmao at this writer for not realizing that people prefer typing 3 letters to however many there are in 'playstation' (i will not count because i am not a dork)of course he was probably in denial of the fact the internet was about to destroy the industry he worked in and can no longer play child-god to a bunch of idiotic children who spend 6 british pounds on a fucking magazine
>>12047442>>12047479The DVD player was hugely important in the console's success, I know for a fact neither me or any of my friends who had one would have gotten one as early if our parents' hadn't been enticed by the fact it cost the same/less than the average dvd player at the time but was also something their kids desperately wanted. Only the richer kids or die-hard nintendo fans at my school had GCs on release.
>>12046091Who is this crippled faggot? He looks mentally retarded and crippled.
>>12046391>I have the same problem when people type ‘GCN’, “GC” is right there.GCN was Nintendo's official abbreviation for the Gamecube and used in their official marketing and press material.
>>12047556Who cares what Mexicans think
>>12047419Immediate evidence disregards your invented deflection
>>12048309If people actually said it you wouldn't need to spam that image. I know you got the brain of a snail but please keep up before I mess you up.
>>12047419>proof means it didn't happenlol
so, what, instead of making up words because of one fucking weirdo who didn't catch on in the 00s we're now changing to tearing down words that weren't made up because of one fucking weirdo who didn't catch on in the 00s?
I write PS1. 99% of people write PS1. And this place is the one single place on the internet with people autistic enough to argue that because it was PSX a long time ago, that means we have to write that. Ridiculous nonsense.
>>12048839It's like people getting mad that we write WW1 ever since WW2 came about despite nobody calling it that prior.
>>12047479You're delusional and/or a turd worlder parroting something some Jewtube retard told you. Most people in the world's good countries owned a standalone DVD player by 2001, as they'd come way down in price and it'd replaced VHS as the standard home video format. Nobody was paying for a fucking PS2 just to watch DVDs on. I was a not at all well-off school kid at the time and even I had one. I never once used my PS2 to play a DVD, because who the fuck wants to deal with a stupid wired controller and on-screen controls when I have a real remote for my real DVD player.
>>12046091I had sex once and regularly talk to women (my coworkers) and I prefer games to people. I call it the PS1
>>12048551Non sequitur, you can steelman better than that
>>12048846Doesn't stop people from acknowledging it was called the great war
i call it the Piece of Shit (PS) !!!!!!!!johnsteward78@hotmail.com
>>12048865>he didn't also have the PS2 remotengmi
>>12047556nice culo
>>12048839>>12048846Hey faggots, the argument was never that you have to call it PSX, but that people used to call it PSX back in the day. Which they did. OP’s image is just another piece of proof supporting that.
>>12049712If I write PS1 is any thread, I will immediately feel the barbaric wrath of autismos being offended I didn't write PSX.
>>12049873Go over to >>12045090 and notice how most people wrote PS1 while the two people that wrote PSX minded their own business. The only people who complain about names that I've seen are pedantic faggots saying "PSX is akchyually a PS2 with a DVR"
>>12049902Interesting. I must have gotten unlucky in the past.
hey baby, you want the 4 inch slip?
>>12046207This. If there is an actual Sony device whose official name is literally the PSX and it's not the PS1 then what the fuck are we even talking about>is the PS1 actually the PSX?No, the PSX is the PSX. Glad we could clear that up
>>12046470It's strange how zoomers want to dictate to you what it was called in the past, if I can find them I had cheat books with PSX on them.
it was called the sony system
>>12046209This could have save the gcn brehs....
>>12048107The Mexican influence is more powerful than you think, hombre.
