A literal Boomer called out /vr/ on his channel for being retards, this proves once and for all the PlayStation was always called the 'PSX'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhwk7C6GY_A&t
>>12583172The only people calling it the ps1 are just trolls, why would anyone call it the ps1 when the ps2 didn't even exists?
Lmao
>>12583172I mean at the time no one called it PSX that I knew nor did they call it PS1 or any abbreviation. We called it Playstation.
>>12583190>that I knewokBut it was literally called the psx in 1995, with complete disregard to your existence
>>12583193That's fine I don't care either way. I'm just saying you seem to be placing a lot of importance on something kind of retarded. In conversation no one said PSX or PS1. They said Playstation.
>>12583196not him but it was usually psx when written, and playstation when spoken
>>12583196>They saidit was abbreviated to psx in print magazines, this is something you fucking zoomer retards have argued against for the past decade both on here and on /v/
>>12583190Nta. In written text (magazines, online bulletins) it has often been abbreviated to PSX since it came out. I'm not OP, but it's how it was and is. You're trying to move the goalposts to what grade schoolers were saying verbally.There has been an argument for years where people are saying "PSX" was made up, that's why OP made the thread.
If you needed a fat youtuber to explain it to you instead of just looking at this decade-old image, you're probably sub-90 IQ and not worth arguing with.
>>12583172>literal Boomer called outbrah he's like the same age as me.my dad is the real boomer who was borned in 1950s. he hated videogames .
>>12583202ironinic, since it you were the one that sent it the guy in the op
>>12583198>you fucking zoomer retardsI'm 40. I just said 'at the time' in my previous posts. Yeah sure when written psx was used. OPs wording implies it was universally referred to as PSX when that was just something written is what I was saying.
>>12583202>>12583189.5 mili seconds of scrolling could have adverted this
>>12583201I am not moving any goal posts, re-read OPs post. It doesn't differentiate between written and spoken. I am not invested in whatever retarded war this is so I only have to go on what OP stated. If you meant it was always written like that then say that. Saying "always called that" implies it was called that universally when it was only something in print.
People actually called it "Sony's Play-Station Electronic Entertainment System" in causal conversation but you ziggers weren't around
PSX was the abbreviation. The shedding of the lining of the uterus.
>>12583210In another thread up right now, you're swearing it was called the 'ps1', go fuck yourself
>>12583174People started calling it the PS1 when the PS2 came out to make it clear which they were talking about. What's the big deal here? You can call it either the PS1 or PSX and either would be fine.
>>12583215Which thread is that? Why would anyone call it the PS1 when there was no PS2? That's retarded. Does anyone actually suggest that?
>>12583172The correct acronym is PSNo bloody 1No bloody 2Just PS
>>12583223that's not how acronyms work, "xen" in the X in playstation
>>12583223Nah people did definitely abbreviate it as PSX. I still prefer PSX to be honest, as an abbreviation. When spoken however then as now Playstation is the non-retarded way to say it.
>>12583206>OPs wording implies it was universally referred to as PSXIt absolutely does not.
>>12583226Where is "xen" in the word? SHUN is how "tion" is pronounced not xen.
>>12583227People did call it the PSX but stopped when Sony released a hobbyist dev system literally named the PSX.
>>12583228>this proves once and for all the PlayStation was always called the 'PSX'Yes it does. It's a definitive statement that it was referred to only as THE PSX. He should have said "always abbreviated it as PSX".
>>12583231Now that's what I call reconning reality!
>>12583231True.
It doesn't matter what some retarded emulator dev on a forum called it because Sony never once used "PSX" in any official capacity. Since they invented it, that should settle the debate.
>>12583238There was the Sony PSX
>>12583238>Sony never once used "PSX"They literally did, which is even stated in the OP video
>>12583238>Sore loser.
Can this be stickied so we can finally stop zoomers from baiting this shit?
>pee sex
The PSX fully supports both PlayStation and PlayStation 2 software by its slot-loading DVD drive, as the onboard EE+GS chip is a unification of the PS2's Emotion Engine and Graphics Synthesizer chips. Online game compatibility is available using the broadband connection; Games that use the PS2 HDD (such as Final Fantasy XI) are supported as well.The PSX was not supplied with any game controllers, but there are two controller ports on the back of the device. While the PSX is compatible with standard PS/PS2 controllers and memory cards (with the exception of the PocketStation), a variant of the DualShock 2 controller marketed specifically for the PSX was also sold that featured a 4-meter long cord (a bit longer than the standard versions of the controller). Two PlayStation memory card ports were on the front of the PSX, behind a panel cover. Because of the different placement of the memory card slots (which are located above the controller ports on standard PS2 consoles), the PSX is incompatible with the PlayStation Multitap and its PS2 counterpart, and no PSX-compatible multitap was ever produced. Games that require the use of two or more USB ports are also incompatible with the PSX.Like standard PS2 consoles, the PSX can be laid horizontally or stood up vertically.Manufacturer: Sony CorporationDate: 13th December 2003
>>12583246You are easily riled.
>>12583248>>12583232/thread
>>12583252>noooooo, dont cut down on 30% of the posts>reeeeeeee
>>12583256If you stop replying to shit like that then they stop posting it, it isn't fun for them unless retards take bait which you and many others do in droves clearly.
PSX was Sony's actual internal codename for the PlayStation.The X stood for eXperimental.This is why people started abbreviating it that way, because Sony did.The product named PSX came later and just used the old project name.Fucking A.
>>12583258>If you stop replyingjust sticky the threadmake it a sticky.
>>12583219Still referring to the original PlayStation as the PSX despite there being a later released device that was officially named the PSX triggers generational dysphoria among zoomers, since it reminds them that they can never read enough Wikipedia articles or watch enough Scott the Woz videos experience the idiosyncrasies of actually living through the times when these consoles were new. Zoomers initially viewed this development in reverse - they learn about the PS2 DVR thing called the PSX, then are eventually exposed to the fact that the PlayStation was originally abbreviated as the PSX, as opposed to people who were actually alive during the era, whose experience was seeing the PlayStation abbreviated as PSX, then being amused by Sony eventually selling a device at retail which was literally named "PSX." This difference is a stark reminder that living through the era is an experience which can't be replicated simply by playing the games or reading articles/watching videos, but instead of accepting this, they try to fight the truth by insisting that people who lived through the PlayStation era are the ones who were wrong, and that calling the original PlayStation the PSX was actually such a rarity that even the majority of oldfags only ever called the "real" PSX the PSX.It's a similar thing to people who have meltdowns about people pissing away their money on old games (aka rotting plastic), instead of accepting that a lot of early millennial and older gamers built a lot of their collections when the games were new combined with the years during which they were bin fillers at Funco and Goodwill.
Why not just sticky the thread?
>>12583172>>12583189PSX was some form of abbreviation and mainly used online and by magazines.They continued using PSX for fear of losing engagement, website traffic and magazine sales numbers by changing to the correct name.In public, everyone used the correct name: playstation or p s one (after the announcement of the PS2).
>46 posts in 46 minsthread reeks of samefagging, trolling, viral marketing and discord butt buddies
>>12583269I don't think so. It's something different than the usual threads, is mildly controversial, and is easy for anyone to speculate on.
>>12583269Just make it a sticky and have zero posts, then
>>12583241Which isn't what people are calling the PSX. They called that the PSX because Sony wanted consumers to call that the PSX. If they wanted the PS to be called the PSX they would have put that on the box.>Internal codename copeYou're not working at Sony in the 90's bro. Call it by the name on it's birth certificate (the box it came in)
No it doesn't.
>>12583273For an abbreviation, nobody called it the "pee es". It was the PSX or the PlayStation.Then Sony introduced the PSone, that was tiny slim model that also came with an LCD screen. By then the larger PlayStation was also called the PS1. So the PS1 and the PSone are different items.
>>12583278>For an abbreviationAn abbreviation for what? The X abbreviates nothing.>PPlay>SStation>X?????
>>12583280In the late '90s X was cool and overused. But like someone said it was also the project name, like Nintendo Dolphin or Microsoft XBox.
>>12583231The ps2-based dvr only came out in japan, and in 2003. It doesn't change how people called the playstation during its life and barely if at all past it either. Nobody outside of japan maybe would confuse what 'psx' means
>>12583283Do you call the GameCube the 'Dolphin'?
>>12583286no because nobody did. people didn't call it the psx because that was the codename, they did because everyone else did
>>12583280Play Station eXperimental. technically the internal abbreviation you can find in technical documentation is "PS-X"
>Sony's own prototype after separating from Nintendo.
>>12583292Why isn't the thread stickied?
>>12583205>>12583208indians attempting to communicate are indistinguishable from chatbots from 5 years ago
>>12583202>Closest thing to a Sony related product that calls it a "PSX" is an Easter Egg in 3rd party title that was on the PlayStation.I'm not saying some people didn't refer to the PlayStation as the "PSX". That would be ludicrous. I have never heard anyone call it a "PSX", and the only verbal abbreviation I have ever heard someone call a PlayStation is "PS1", but I certainly did see websites call it that. However, what the PSXnigger needs to understand, is that Sony did not market their fucking product as the "PSX", and that they were wrong everytime they called it the "PSX". I don't fucking care about 'codenames" and shit. We don't call a Gamecube "The Dolphin", you're not playing "Mario Kart Revolution". You were calling it the wrong thing the whole time.
>>12583328It's really simple.Dev kits said PS-X. Some magazines got leaks, and even after the official name released PSX was an easy shorthand that continued to be used in writing.
It was never PSX, officially it was PS-X.Then when the console officially launched it was just PS.It's the same with the NUS (Nintendo Ultra Sixtyfour), people kept calling it the Ultra for years, and even the system and games themselves had NUS as catalog code, but the actual system is called Nintendo 64.Same with PlayStation, it's just PS.The X was a remnant from the beta name
>It was never the N64, it was always the Nintendo 64!
>>12583172Buy an AD + you wear hats indoorsbald as nigga>dude it was called DOLPHIN not Gamecube by the masses!!
>>12583361If you grew up with gaming mags in the 90s, they all used PSX. In the early 00s they used "GCN" in mags.The OP exists because zoomers have been saying for several years that "PSX" was never actually used in any context during it's lifetime. You've probably seen such arguments. But, it clearly was in mags, online, in prototypes, ordering forms, yadda yadda.The argument was never about what people called it.
>>12583329You seem to not have actually read what I said. I think I've figured out what the problem is. SonyX didX notX referX toX theX "Playstation"X asX theX "PSX" outsideX ofX developmentX. TheyX neverX soldX itX asX anyX otherX nameX otherX thanX theX "Playstation". IX knowX thatX theX developmentX kitsX hadX theX termX "PS-X" onX themX, butX developmentX kitsX areX notX aX productX.

>>12583375I say PlayStation out loud. PSX in writing.There was never a commercial product called the N64 or SNES.
>>12583382But there was a commercial product called the Nintendo 64 and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. There was never a commercial PlayStation eXperimental.
>>12583390You seem to misunderstand the nature of the argument.>>12583368>The OP exists because zoomers have been saying for several years that "PSX" was never actually used in any context during it's lifetime.
I call N64 Nintendo's Dolphin. I'm not the only one.
>>12583231>Sony released a hobbyist dev system literally named the PSX.it never existed in my cunt. we kept calling it PSX online and offline. until PS2 was released. then it became PS1.
>>12583392>because zoomers have been saying for several years that "PSX" was never actually used in any context during it's lifetime.just age check them if they are from brit isles. and kekstart their genocide.
>>12583392The nature of my argument is that only gay retard niggers say PSX
>>12583382>There was never a commercial product called the N64 or SNESBut they have used the terms themselves in official products. Retro tracks in the Mario Kart series, which are 1st party games, will refer to the console that the track first appeared on. This is not the same as an easter egg in a third party game. The Official Nintendo magazine for the UK uses "N64" for the Nintendo 64 all the time. Nintendo loved calling the Super Nintendo Entertainment System simply as the "Super Nintendo" or in magazines, the "Super NES". Is it "SNES" exactly? No. But it doesn't include an irrelevant letter.And "N64", "NES", "SNES", "GCN/NGC/GC", all of these are natural abbreviations, made up of the first letters from the console's name itself, not the development kit.
>>12583328>zoomers have been reduced to unironically seething because people were using the "wrong" abbreviation 30 years agoIt's OK that you weren't alive then, but you don't have to have meltdowns simply because the reality of people who were alive when the original PlayStation was actually current doesn't align with the experiences of somebody who was born after the PS2 released.
>>12583348>people kept calling it the Ultra for yearsNo they did not.
i can't habeeb people still argue about this
Why did they call it the PS 10?
>>12584030Sony is ahead of you on that. They trademarked PS6-10 in Japan in 2019.https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1801/TR/JP-2019-131610/40/en>PI-ESUTEN
>>12583273For fuck's sake, this. If you're using an acronym for your most popular product you don't repurpose it for a different, much more niche product. The fact that Sony called something else the PSX means that's not what the Playstation ever was, at least not publicly.
>>12583172>this proves once and for all the PlayStation was always called the 'PSX'um, no.it was always called 'Playstation'and I am 42 years oldPSX was a very very early dev name, that Sony themselves did not ever use for anything public.Sony always called it "Playstation"The case that some autistic magazine outlets kept refering to it as "psx" DOES NOT mean that it was actually called "PSX"it was like a nickname given to it by (few idiot) fans, that's it.Sony then went and released an ACTUAL PSX >2003 digital video recorderplease, please, please stop with this retarded story>tl;dr>Internally called PSX at very early dev stages>The PSX name was never meant for the public >When the console was released it was "Playstation" and ONLY "PLAYSTATION">Some autistic people liked the name internal name PSX and just.... kept going with it>Some of those autists were magazine outlets...>However, the printed words of some magazine does not rewrite reality>Sony actually released a PSX model in 2003, so this is the end of this travestythe end
>>12584398>The case that some autistic magazine outlets kept refering to it as "psxLiterally every magazine abbreviated PlayStation to psx to save letter head, you dumb larping zoomer
>>12584398The argument wasn't whether its official name was "PSX," it's about whether people commonly referred to it as "PSX" during its lifetime, which it was, very often.
