Typically the PlayStation 4’s days would be rapidly disappearing at this point. Once you’re solidly in your adult years everything washes together into one endless, overwhelming now, where moments from 20 years ago can loom larger and fresher in your memory than something from last week. If you’re in high school or college 2013 was forever ago. That’s another thing about time: it collapses in on itself as you age. Of course it was actually in 2013, which means it served a lengthy seven-year term as Sony’s console of record before the PlayStation 5 came out, with an extra two years (and counting) of relevance tacked on to the end of that. Meanwhile from my vantage point it feels like it’s been about six months since the PlayStation 4 came out.

It’s coming up on its third Christmas season. And not only does it exist, but it’s been out for almost two years. Here’s how messed up time is: the PlayStation 5 actually exists. That’s a good thing, of course, because if it ever does it’d pretty much be the end of all existence as we know it.
