The main difference is that, once Dolphin was officially named the Gamecube, nobody used Dolphin anymore except in very rare cases (Like my nick :) ) In the case of the PSX, that was the de-facto abbreviation the industry used, because as far as I remember there was no offical name given to the Playstation other than the Playstation. It had been the Playstation since the Nintendo Playstation days. So there was no code-name really. PSX is simply the most used abbreviation for the official name, e.g. the Playstation. |
"^ 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."
