Pretty much yes.
lol, well the playstation is the playstation 1 now if you mean playstation and playstation 2 then ya kinda but of course the playstation 2 has better graphics and more updated.
Not sure who answered the above.. To be a little more helpful, The PlayStation 1 as we all call it, was actually the PSX. The mini version was called the PS ONE. not pronounced as the number 1. actually pronounced per letter (oh en ee) as far as graphics and gaming go yes they are the same. some differences were made, but commonly can be found in the psx systems as well in later versions.. (I.E. the parallel IO ports for gamesharks and goldfinger devices and such was removed as well as music player screensavers.) The screensavers were brought back in the last models of the psx before they launched the O.N.E
The PlayStation is a word that can be used for any of the Game consoles. PlayStation 1 identifies the game console before the PS2. So it answer to your question the name now has two or more meanings and that is why people started using PS1 for the First PlayStation console.

All about PlayStation?
Ok, well heres the first thing. There are 3 different playstations. PlayStation 1,2,and 3. I have the second one. Nobody sells playstation 1's anymore, playstation 2 & 3 are popular,though. PLaystation is like any other game console, it has games and is pretty fun. The big difference between playstation 2 and playstation 3 is that playstation 3 had internet connection, but the bad side is that it costs about $500. A playstation 2 is pretty much the same as the third but without internet. Currently, PlayStation 2's (or PS2's) are around $100-$180.
