Crazy covid happened almost 4 years ago.

Around half way.

So, like they said, about to enter the latter part.

It came out in 2020. It's now 2024, so yeah.

Consoles usually last around 7 years before the next gen comes around. It's just the scalping makes you feel like it only came out the other day.

The hardware? Sure, but no game has yet to truly make it struggle

Sony systems tend to be 7 - 8 years (though PS4 is still getting games hitting the 10 year mark), and since this year will be the fourth year, yeah, they are in the latter segment of their life cycle. They don't mean it's ending soon, just that the sales are going to get lower as more people hit the saturation point.

PS2 had games made for it still in 2013, 13 years after release.

Based off the traditional console life cycle, yes.

Based off the recent console life cycles, not quite.

Remember that the PS1 came out December 94 and was replaced March 2000. That's just over 5 years. The PS5 came out November 2020 and is just over 3 years.

PSWii60 era set a weird new standard by having a 8 year life cycle, which was almost matched by the PS4/Xbone at 7 years.

So its coming up on the middle-ish point based on recent precedence and is past the middle point based on historical precedence.

The real reason it feels... so weird is because it suffered from availability for basically 2 years and there have been no real next-gen experiences, in part due to the availability issues. Combine that with no large amount of (new) exclusives because of ever increasing development costs and it just makes the whole generation feel like a weird middle child that nobody needed

The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt.
