But the vast majority of games mags and websites list it as PSX, at least until the release of the PSOne

Some call it GC, some NGC, some GameCube and others GAMECUBE. They're still acronyms for the same thing.

PSX is not an acronym for the PlayStation.

The original codename for the PlayStation was the PSX, but it was dropped because it's tacky.

It's the same as Project Dolphin -> GameCube. People don't go around calling the GC the Dolphin, do they!
