    It’s a PS1, the redesign was PSOne. PSX was a PS2+DVR.

        But PS1 and PSX are both retail product names for different systems, I don’t see calling the Wii “Revolution”…

        It was never officially named PSX, but it was called that way by people for some reason. I guess to differentiate the fat and slim versions.

        Literally untrue I promise, even worse, you’re extra wrong because the PSX is actually the name of a Japanese specific set top entertainment box that also played PS2 games and was the introduction of the XMB ( Cross Media Bar ) interface that the PSP and PS3 both used.

        The small PlayStation did have the official designation of PSOne though.

            Confusingly (and as I discovered in this thread) the name “PSX” is both the release name for the ps2/recorder and the code name for the original PlayStation.

            The PlayStation (abbreviated as PS, commonly known as the PS1/PS one or its codename PSX)

            Not to be confused with PSX (digital video recorder) or PlayStation Experience.

            So technically you’re both right and both wrong!
