We do say PS1. And just "xbox" means the 360 now. I guess for us, PS1 made sense, since its 1, 2, 3, where the xbox doesn't follow any numerical order. Plus, the mini-version of the PS1 released after the PS2 came out was actually called the PSone by Sony themselves. I still have one, plus the screen accessory you could dock it into[1]. Add in a cigarette lighter adapter, and it was great for long car trips.

FWIW I think "Xbox One" is a really dumb name. I would have liked "Infinity", "720", "3", "-NG", "Mark III", etc way more. Calling it "Xbox One" reminds me of Pandora One and RealOne Player :) It seems like an oddly -aughties convention for something coming out in 2013. Even Apple just stuck with numbers and a simple designation for the iPhone line, though they did something similar to MS with "The New iPad" groan
