I got the Official UK PS magazine here in South Africa and as such I've been aware of the usage of 'PSX' since 1997. Just because you don't know something doesn't mean everyone else doesn't.

Kinda makes it funny that you're getting your panties in a twist.

Calling the PS is PSX is just like calling the 360 the Xenon. 

All that has been shown is that game reporters back then obviously weren't the brightest sparks.

No it's not like calling the 360 the Xenon. Here are some key differences:

1) Xenon refers to the 360's processor. PSX was a codename for the console.

2) No-one ever called the 360 the Xenon. Usage of PSX was widespread.

From Wiki:

"The PlayStation (Japanese: プレイステーション Hepburn: Pureisutēshon^?, officially abbreviated as PS; sometimes referred to as PS1, or unofficially as the PSX^[10]"

My conclusion?

You don't know how to use analogies in the slightest.

Xenon referes to the 360 code name, just as PSX referes to the PS' code name.

There is absolutely no difference. 

My conclusion: You don't know how to click a reference link.

"10^ PS-X (PlayStation Experimental) was an internal code name for the PlayStation during development.^[9] The popular use of the "PSX" abbreviation outside Sony became a source of confusion when Sony Of Japan ignored Sony of America's decision and introduced its PSX digital video recorder in 2003."
