My argument is bad when yours is "PSX CONTAINS PS SO ITS OKAY"

Seriously?

PSX is a dev term. The 360 was never intended to be called the Xenon outside of development - same applies to the Playstation and PSX. Are you going to call the F-35 the X-35? Hey, they both have 35 in so it's okay, right?

I googled the F-35 and the X-35, and they are different units. The Playstation-Experimental is the codename, not the prototype name. It's not a valid argument.

PSX is a term used by whoever used it, and there was no real inauguration of the name Playstation like there was for the Gamecube, as far as I know. So, there was, historically, no need to drop the letter X from the abbreviation.

That's the point in "PSX CONTAINS PS SO ITS OKAY", but you still don't get it.

Dolphin -> Gamecube. Different.

Playstation - Experimental -> Playstation. Same diff.

Dolphin -> NickName

PSX -> Abbreviation.

Dolphin doesn't have an abbreviation. I can't be clearer than this........

"The Lockheed Martin X-35 was an experimental aircraft developed by Lockheed Martin for the Joint Strike Fighter Program. It was declared the winner over the Boeing X-32 and went on to enter production in the early 21st century as theF-35 Lightning II"

Playstation = name on the box.
PS-X = dev name.
PSX = different console.

It's a simple as that. Why people insist on calling a console by the dev name is beyond me.

Playstation has no X in it, or any word that can be abbreviated to X, ergo cannot be abbreviated to PSX.

Calling the Playsation the PS-X is exactly the same as calling the 360 the Xenon. Calling it the PSX is completely wrong. That's like calling the N64 the GC.
