Ending its life cycle is not the same as end of life though. Were 6 years into ps5 life and the ps4 was just surpassed in more online people by the ps5 in June 2025. I have a feeling you will have little issue with it being abandoned anytime soon, let alone 2 or even 3 years from now.
True, this is why I said in two years start thinking about a PS6, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to spend $700 on a 6 year old console when $300 to $500 more can get a mid-range PC or for the similar price get a Steam Deck/Machine. If they get a PS5 today then it will still be relevant for another 5ish years, but will they have buyers remorse if they had just waited for a PS6, who knows.
