Is this the PSX[0] you're referring to? I had no idea this existed, or what impact it had on gaming consoles.

Edit (answered): "Why is PlayStation called PSX? Wishing to distance the project from the failed enterprise with Nintendo, Sony initially branded the PlayStation the "PlayStation X" (PSX)."

PSX was used to refer to the PlayStation before it was released, and it stuck.
