stone 09/06/17 8:20:47 PM #8:	According to wikipedia Before being known as the PS1, the first PlayStation console came to be known colloquially by its provisional codename of PSX (this was adopted to echo the MSX, a home computer standard sold by Sony and other companies throughout the 1980s).[10] This can cause some confusion as to which device is being referred to. --- PONG WAS REAL?

But if Sony ever makes PlayStation X, we'll have to find something else to call it. Well it was kinda just coined by fans as PSX. Then they made the mini playstation and called it ps one (this was when ps2 was in development and then later after launch). I believe there was a PSX at some point that was like a powerful ps2 or a developer tool or something. It's been a good 15 years since I read about it though so I could be wrong.
