That's because the PSOne is not a Playstation(1), but an entirely different console that Sony released years ago to poor reception. It helps avoid confusion.
PSOne - Wikipedia
I'm well aware that the PSOne was a variant of the PS2 released well after the PSOne. However, the original short form for the Playstation was PSOne stemming from an early code name for it while it was in development and that stuck for years until the actual PSOne was released. Suffice it to say, I hate the name PSOne, and prefer PSOne, not just because I used it for years before confusion was ever an issue (and really, how many people would confuse it for a system that never left Japan and most have never heard of?), but also because it's just that little bit shorter making it quicker to type.
