** ''VideoGame/SonicColors Ultimate''

Towards the end of the console's life, Sony Computer South Korea went forward with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEN00wMFB2A hilarious ad]] called ''Plash Speed'', where a husband buying a [=PS4=] Pro tries to hide the fact from his strict but noticeably IT-ignorant wife by trying to pass it off as a replacement router (calling it the titular ''Plash Speed''). The ad went viral and became a meme very quickly in Asia. In a funny coincidence, the [=PS5=]'s design when it was unveiled would be compared to that of a router.

On May 2018, [[https://metro.co.uk/2018/05/22/playstation-4-entering-final-phase-life-cycle-according-sony-boss-7567793/ Sony announced]] that the [=PlayStation=] 4 is "Entering the final phase of its life cycle", and that focus would now shift to providing a better online experience to users. This was followed shortly after by a cryptic tweet from SCEE mentioning March 2021, and shortly after a bug report filed with AMD regarding the unit running Ryzen architecture by SCEE engineers was leaked into the web. In an April 2019 ''Wired'' article, Sony executive Mark Cerny [[https://www.wired.com/story/exclusive-sony-next-gen-console/ confirmed]] that the company was working on a successor unit, later [[https://www.wired.com/story/exclusive-playstation-5/ identified]] as the Platform/PlayStation5. Although Sony intended to quickly phase out the [=PlayStation=] 4 to focus on the [=PlayStation=] 5, they were forced to continue development for both systems simultaneously due to the stock shortages and limited install base of the latter thanks to rampant scalping.
