Sony Ends Sales of PlayStation 4
PlayStation 4 has stood out as a console that has taken its place in the lives of many gamers and attracted great attention over the years. The company’s latest move, however, carries clues about the future of this legendary device. This change, which has been talked about for a long time in the gaming industry, has now become more apparent. Another transition period that we frequently encounter in the technology world is taking place. This time, it is PlayStation 4 that has been withdrawn from the scene.
PlayStation 4 Production Ends in Japan
Sony has completely ended PlayStation 4 production in Japan. This decision, announced with a small update on the company’s official website, applies to all PS4 models. Although the PS4 Slim model continued to be sold at an affordable price in previous years, its production has now been stopped. This development shows that Sony has made a full transition to PlayStation 5.
Although Sony has not made an official press release on the subject, industry sources interpret this step as a natural process. With the spread of the new generation console, demand for PlayStation 4 has gradually decreased. In addition, the fact that important productions such as GTA 6 and Death Stranding 2 will only be released on PS5 is shown as one of the factors that accelerated this transition.
PlayStation 4 meant a great comeback for Sony when it was released in 2013. After the difficulties experienced during the PlayStation 3 era, this new model allowed the company to rise to leadership again. Reaching millions of users, PS4 managed to leave unforgettable memories in the gaming world. It is thought that the company will continue its software support in the short term.
Finally, it is also said that Sony has started working on PlayStation 6. The new generation console is expected to be released in 2028. This shows that the PlayStation 4 era is now completely over. However, it seems that the console’s impact on users will continue to be felt for many years to come.
