Considering the PS5 only a couple months ago finally had a higher active playerbase than the PS4 after over 4 years of the PS5 being on the market, I wouldn't be surprised if the PS4 still has another year left in the tank of production. PS4 would surpass the PS2 in that regard though of longest running produced console. I believe the PS2 was manufactured for 13 years. |
Famicom and Super Famicom were apparently discontinued in Japan in 2003, but maybe they stopped production around 1999-2000 and sold a few thousand units until 2003.
PS4 isn't even reported by Sony or VGChartz in hardware sales anymore, and I doubt it's cracking 1,000 or more a week anymore. It's probably around 300-600 units a week globally. PS4 does continue to get games, you can still buy DualShock 4 and some other things. Plus, plenty of people are playing PS4 games even still on PS4 hardware itself.
Not even a 1% chance PS4 will still be in production once PS6 is ready to launch, but I'm sure you and others agree with that.
