Not officially. Never was officially (except maybe the name of it when it was an SNES add-on, but that doesn't count). Besides, now it's just confusing, and everyone knows what one means when they say PS1. Too late? Hardly. Most people already call the first one the PS1 as it is. It's only the hardcores that still cling to that outdated name. Before the PS2 came out I just called it the PS.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
