Why are ppl so ignorant of this? The original playstation was called "psx" for many years. It was just a nickname. Young gamers probably wouldn't know that though. It was only called ps1 after the ps2 was announced to differentiate the two. The psx system you linked, which weirdly Sony named after the nickname the ps1 went by for many years, is the ps2 hybrid system released in 2003. 

 

I thought of it as playstation until PS2 came out then I started to think of it as PS1.

In Europe at least it was always called the Playstation, the first time numbers came into it was with the PSone and PS2 on the horizon but the original system was always just referred to as Playstation, where does the X even come from in this abbreviation?

.....

Righto after some reading about the X comes from Playstation Experiment a pre release name given to the system and used by some magazines after the consoles launch... Jesus I'm glad gaming magazines are for the most part dead, or we'd still have people talking about the NX and Xenon today as their favourite consoles of all times....
