I still call it the PSX, not the PS, PS1 or PlayStation.
I still call it the Nintendo Ultra 64, not N64 or Nintendo 64

That analog stick looks more comfortable for the thumb than the one they ended up using.

I still call it the faggot, not OP

>N64 controller had concave sticks before the final version
>PS controller had concave sticks before the DualShock revision
Why did they step back?
It's not like they didn't try, they actually did it and then decided a convex design with worse grip would be better anyway.

I call it the PlayStation but I write psx.
I call the Nintendo 64 an Nintendo 64 but write N64
>>
>>12801895 (OP)
Only retards think "PSX" was "just a development code name". Literally every single PSX console and every single PSX game refer themselves to "PS-X" internally. Every single one, even the PSOne.
It stuck because it is its actual name but idiots who never knew a world in which the PS2 didn't exist think they know better.

In the case of Dual Analog it was changed due to feedback in Japan. The DualShock came out and everyone loved it in Japan. That's all.

No you do not.

it was called Project Reality, not Ultra 64 you didnt play the console
>>
>>12801925
Well yeah, there's a reason it ended in X. Sony didn't know they were going to make a sequel console right away, so it was X for "Experimental."
>>
(pronounced piss icks)
>>
I call every console "the nintendo"
>>
PSX persisted because it was a catchy abbreviation that worked better than "PS."
>>
>>12801895
I call it the psx because magazines and video game websites abbreviated the phonetics (PlayStayXen) psx to save letter head
>>
>>12801925
>Only retards think "PSX" was "just a development code name"
Only zoomers trying to fit in think 'PSX' WAS a development code name, when it was actually PS-X. 'PSX' was the initial, scrapped idea for a retail name. You virgins are such failures that you can't even get your video game contrarianism right, despite it being all you have in life.

as this magazine cover clearly shows, the original name was the Worldbeating Gamebox

This, most of people refered to things as they read on paper publications, this was before most people had internet at home
>>
>>12801914
honestly, those concave sticks don't seem that comfortable to use. i'd imagine the ridges to leave imprints on your thumbs with prolonged use

personally i don't have a problem with the convex sticks of the dualshock 2 but those of the dualshock 1 were indeed quite slippery
the quality of the stick's material probably matters more than the design i'd wager
>>
>>12802230
Convex sticks slide off your thumb when you're really playing the shit out of something. I wish we had gotten the concave sticks instead.
>>
>>12801895
thats some high tier autism. i was calling it n64 practically since the day it released. PS1 mostly to differentiate from the PS2, so whenever that came out.

What did the X stand for? eXperience?

Xtreme
"X" was the "Super" of the 90s
>>
>>12801895
I want that controller. Kinda wild no company has put some kind of similar one out. I think aesthetically that looks better then the end result but I still love the 64 controller.
>>
>>12802427
It's probably experience, if we're goimg by the Sony Xperia naming convention
