We call it that because that was the abreviation used for the Original Playstation when it was out. That is what Stop-N-Save Software used (a prelude to EB Games which is now Gamestop), that is what BestBuy and ToysRUs Used and so that is what I use. Us old fucks get to call it PSX because we read about PSX in game magazines in the horrible, terrible, awful age before the internet (and that isn't sarcasm, even though I was 12 when we got the internet I really can't remember what it was like beforehand, I have retconned most of my memories to be internet inclusive.)
Boom, PSX baby.
