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is that the PS is not the PSX and never will be no matter how many stamp their feet and try to hold onto a completely outdated term - no one is calling the F-35 the X-35.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. 

You're in denial.

Here's a magazine by the time the PS2 was announced.

When's the last time you saw the Dolphin magazine? And this is just one example.

Sorry, but you're wrong. And will continue to be wrong until you smash your head against the wall that is P.S.X.

What am I in denial of exactly....?

As I said, it's a term that has been carried over from the dev days of the Playstation which stuck with it because some game reporters are obviously too stupid to realise that once a product is released, you stop calling it by it's dev name.

Here's the offical Sony mag:

PSX was never mentioned in that magazine. Calling the PS the PSX is as rediculous as calling the 360 the Xenon. People should stop doing it. As I said it just looks ignorant.
