PS1 PSX or PS1

I say PS1, with the number. I’d really like to just use “PlayStation”, but Sony, in their infinite wisdom, decided to call the entire brand that, so it’s really confusing not to include a suffix. “PSX” is going to come back to bite you all when the PlayStation 10 comes out!

The real question: Why did people, for the longest time, abbreviate “GameCube” as “GCN”?
Right?

your right with the the "GCN", you cant say its the code name because the code name is dolphin
so I guess it "GameCubeNintendo"?

The only time I recall it being called like that in an official source was Mario Kart DS
 
iirc here in latin america there was a magazine called club nintendo, idk if it existed in my country tho
i think that's what they replaced the live action segments on the mario bros cartoon with.
 
well now that we are on the talk about PlayStation why is the psvita getting roms in the repo but not the 3ds or Wii?

Probably because Nintendo will go to war with Spike or something ludicrous, there was a crack down a while back.
 
PS1

PSX

PSX is not a much used acronym, PS1 in comparison is.

Iirc it was because NGC was too similar to Nokia's N-Gage and N-word's legal department got paranoid.
 
officially its just PS
people added the number later for obvious reasons
 
pee ess won
unless it's the PSOne, then it's pee-sone (my mom was like "what's a peesone?" way back then)
 
I've pretty much always written out PSX, but I can't remember why that is. I'm assuming a gaming magazine would abbreviate it that way in their review sections.
