I am writing this comment on a Mac.

I am not writing this comment on the original Mac released in 1984.




Mac has a genericity that Playstation doesn't. Two mostly contemporary Macs can run mostly the same software, two Playstations can't, the naming scheme is also much more complicated for Mac than it is for Playstation. As a result when you speak of your Playstation device it's expected that you should specify the number, and Playstation reads as Playstation 1.


I don’t think this is as true as you claim. The switch to M1, the switch to intel before that, various changes in macOS…meanwhile PlayStation games often did port to newer generations, typically at least 1 generation off but I can play some ps2 games on ps5.

A bit of a stretch but I think the OP here was incredibly nitpicking regardless of the software compat
