What is the average life of a PS4?

A PS4's physical lifespan is typically 5-7 years, but with good maintenance (cleaning, ventilation), they often last much longer, with many users reporting 8+ years, as Sony supported the console for nearly a decade past its 2013 launch, with official support winding down in 2026.
