"^ 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."

From wiki. 

That was mentioned earlier, but you missed the main part of the point, which were

1) There was no official naming of the console, since Playstation was the name since the Nintendo Playstation, that never changed. So PS is there regardless as part of the name. That's different from Dolphin, which had an official renaming.

2) The PSX monicker was used after the launch of the playstation, while that wasn't the case for the dolphin, won't be the case for the xenon. I suspect that's because PSX is only an 'X' away from what would be used after the experimental stopped being used. I also suspect that this was still used since no official name was announced like was the case for the cube. I also suspect that people ended up becoming fond of PSX and just kept using it. The rest is history, you should get used to it.

Official name of the console = Playstation. If abbreviated, PS makes sense. PSX does not. 

PSX just shows how some gaming journalists have never been the brightest sparks imo. PSX isn't used outside of the USA. It's some reminant term that was used by poor reporters who didn't realise that they were still using a dev term for a finished product. It's a retarded moniker and always will be as it just shows how ignorant people are (ignorant as in unknowing). 

The only thing that is history is that the PS is not the PSX and never will be no matter how many stamp their feet and try to hold onto a completely outdated term - no one is calling the F-35 the X-35. 
Why gamers feel a need to be completely different from the rest of the world is beyond me and it's completely embarrassing.
