It's a PS1, the redesign was PSOne. PSX was a PS2+DVR.
PSX was Sony's designation for the OG Playstation.
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.

So technically you're both right and both wrong!
