Internally playstation was the weird ass SNES-CD thing, when they started on the actual PSX they wanted to reuse the name but bureaucracy etc, so they used PlayStation-X as the project name instead.
I've heard it called the PS1 all the time and I'm 31, so I think it's less of a zoomer thing and more akin to everyone calling the spiny shell in mario kart the blue shell
Typing out the full console name is not a zoomer thing the fuck you talking about. Saying shit like "NGC" even though it's a GC, no N part of the fucking name, is retarded. We don't type SPS2 or MXBSX or whatever stupid shit. Typing the full name shows you are a high intelligence being that isn't hindered by fully expressing themselves in whole, complete words and thoughts. Abbreviations are for ADHD gay simpletons.
>GameCube Nintendo
retarded >Nintendo GameCube

there is no business having the N in the fucking abbreviation, its 3rd world moron status
NES, SNES, and N64 all have N in them. Unlike PS and Xbox, the company name is actually part of the product name (besides the Wii line, for some reason)
I imagine they don't want to get sued by Nintendo for using their IP (gamecube acronym) without paying a fee.
You should be careful. I hear Nintendo's lawyers get very litiguous about this sort of thing.
How long does it take you to type shit out? Are you a hunt and peck baby? Typing is pretty easy and quick and typing out GameCube barely takes any time.

guys "GCN" is fake I've somehow never heard of this acronym it must've been journalists or youtubers or lizardmen who just came up with it last week trust me
My dada used to call it "GameClub"
>Dada
What 3rd world shit home did you crawl out of
Sorry, I meant to say Daddy
Be nice you inbred rascal
Amazing that your retarded father managed to reproduce. Honestly impressive.

Why do zoomers think the abbreviation for PlayStation is PS1 and not PSX?
When it was new I never saw it spelled "GCN" a single time or heard anyone say that.
It's a stupid and confusing acronym.
"PSX" is stupid too, and after the PS2 came out it retroactively got called the PS1 by everyone
Well then you didn't get Nintendo power magazine or use the internet at all
Sony put it on themselves. If only they had released this in the states.
Zoomie detected. Why even comment about events that clearly happened before you were born.
I'm 33 and in EU and never ever heard someone call it PSX. I have to assume this is an American thing.
That's how it was always abbreviated in our american gaming magazines
PSX and GCN were just some retarded shit journalists came up with
GCN came from Nintendo. They wanted to call it the NGC, but they didn't want people to confuse it with the Neo Geo Color, I think.
it was definitely called PSX in germany
Nope it was PSX in every gaming mag in the UK until the smaller unit came out which was then the PSone lol
yeah but what the fuck was the X for?
did they just add X because they wanted it to be 3 letters?
The X stood for DirectX. It was originally going to be called the Playstation DirectX but Sony changed it at the last minute.
Internally playstation was the weird ass SNES-CD thing, when they started on the actual PSX they wanted to reuse the name but bureaucracy etc, so they used PlayStation-X as the project name instead.
The model name for the prototype was SFX-100, so PSX was just a continuation of that naming scheme.
I've heard it called the PS1 all the time and I'm 31, so I think it's less of a zoomer thing and more akin to everyone calling the spiny shell in mario kart the blue shell
>spiny shell
>look it up
>it's fucking real
I read every manual for every game I ever owned, how the fuck did I not know about this
probably because the green and red shells were actually just called green and red shells, instead of koopa shell or homing shell.
pattern recognition is a hell of a drug

You're too young to understand zoomie
In gaming magazines consoles always had a 3 letter abbreviation in the charts
>GCN
>Game Cube ___ ?
What's the N stand for?
Nintendo you mongoloid
>GameCube Nintendo
retarded
>Nintendo GameCube

Keep going, continue applying the logic backwards. You'll figure it out.
Nario
moron
racism isn't funny
You're right. It's hysterical. moron.
GAMECUBE, bro
Me and my friends only called it "el cubo"
I just say it GC.
They couldn't use NGC because it looks like a bad word.
I call it the Nintendo shitcube
because GCN is Graphics Core Next
I imagine they don't want to get sued by Nintendo for using their IP (gamecube acronym) without paying a fee.
You should be careful. I hear Nintendo's lawyers get very litiguous about this sort of thing.
I have never seen people call it gcn until about this year and I grew up with the damn thing, fuck off with the lies
Nintendo Power used the GCN acronym all the time.
do you not see the OP image? its a trophy from smash bros melee. nintendo themselves was calling it that.
if i'm not mistake the 'GCN' acronym was literally only used because they couldn't use GC or NGC for trademark reasons.
>GCN
>GameCube Nintendo
>PSX
>PlayStation X
Asinine. Fucking have a nice day.

do you genuinely not understand why it's retarded to combine two unrelated posts into one nonsensical "argument"
He's not trying to make an argument, just trying to fully display how retarded that anon was to everyone in the thread
>random link for donkey kong 64 on the gamecube page for no reason

why did web 1.0 have so much SOVL
>random yoshi egg graphic
it's a slot machine
I hate gcn as an acronym, where does the n come from
I'd tell you but it's against rule 3b
>gamecube nintendo
shouldn't it be NGC
IIRC, NGC was the official acronym in Japan, whereas it was GCN in North America and Europe.
blowin on that endo
I don't like that the N is put at the end. It should be NGC.
it shouldn't have an N at all, it's fucking racist
Why is it not NGC? It sounds retarded
SESN
ESN
64N

Wow, it's even more retarded when you consider the previous consoles.
