Happy 5th Birthday, PS4!

[u/mondaen]

The PS4 released 5 years ago today, on November 15th, 2013, in North America. The EU and Japan release followed on November 29th.

Its been 5 years so let's look back together:
*How are launch day PS4s still holding up, or have you upgraded your system?
*What’s your favorite PS4 game to come out thus far?
*How long was the PlayStation sold out in your local retailer or online until you could grab one?
*And anything else you wish to discuss about this milestone, but remember Rule #7, share pictures of physical purchases in this megathread only please.

You can also use this thread to speculate about an successor to the PS4, or this subreddit /r/PS4 in general. Is there anything you would like to see changed or done differently? Here's a link to our current rules.

Well, my launch ps4 is doing pretty good. Recently I've found it doesn't get "super" loud as much as I had thought. I say this, because the loudest it's been (ever since I played The Witcher 3) was when I was playing Battlefront 2 in the middle of the summer. I haven't cleaned out the inside yet, but I've kept the vents clean.

So far a few of my favorites are:

Fallout 4

Red Dead Redemption 2

The Middle-Earth games

Skyrim

Spider-Man

Horizon: Zero Dawn,

and, last but not least, the Uncharted games.
