PlayStation 4
Gaming home system
PlayStation 4 is a video game console made by Sony, released in 2013.
Often abbreviated PS4, it was the dominant console of its generation, outselling competitors by a wide margin.
The system marked Sony's shift toward social features and streaming.
I spent most of college playing PS4 with my roommates.
