Interestingly, it’s technically not. While the PS1 was sometimes called the PSX in development, that name didn’t make it to the production model. There was, however, a PlayStation system that saw production under the PSX name, which was a combination PS2 and DVR. That’s probably the one @[email protected] is thinking of.
The mini one was officially the PS One as the full name of the system. The official abbreviation for the original grey model was the PS or PS1, depending on whether or not Sony had started developing the PS2. Then they just started adding Slim to distinguish the small models and Xbox proudly took up the duty of naming consoles things that are confusing and don’t make any sense.
It’s literally the first one?

Ah, yeah for some reason I always called the older boxy gray version the PSX, and the slimmer white one the PS1.
