Magazine slang and independent retailers and gamers called PlayStation PSX to begin with. And then PS1 after the PSOne came out. PS2, then PSTwo (though everyone calls it a PS2 still). And yes there was an actual PSX media device but when people say PSX they normally mean the PS1.

yea i used to call my old PS1 "PSX". It was a rather cool name to begin with.

PSP Go is part of the PlayStation Portable devices. rather than name all of the PSP Brands, I thought I just put PSP in Generally.

Anyone remember the unofficial Playstation magazine that was called PSX. Well, looks like they got it wrong.
