February 2026 for PS4 is equivalent to February 2012 for PS2. The very last game for PS2 in Japan, Shin Koihime Musou: Otome Ryouran Sangokushi Engi, was released on November 10, 2011.

12 years after launch PS4 refuses to die.

Generations died in November 2020 and the sooner people accept it, the better.

Crossgen will be very long, likely from launch of next xbox/ps6 so holidays 2027 to at least 2030, maybe even beyond that to 2032, but there will be more and more games launching after 2030 that have rt as a base, ps5/xbox series are so weak at handling rt that the difference would be so huge game would look like og switch port vs maxed pc witcher 3, resolution so low u can see pixels size of a fists and all settings downgraded so much it looks much worse even from pc witcher 2 and game still be at most 30fps

Hell we got example of that even now, just check maxed out(including rt) wukong vs any console version, they almost look like og game vs sequel made 5 years later(difference is bigger from ps4's Ghost of Tsushima vs ps5pr0's Ghost of Yotei)
There is huge difference between game made specifically to work on last gen then ported up/remasted to new gen and game made for new gen then downported to much weaker last gen platform.
Best example to give here would be first Last of Us and its ps4 remaster:


And first watch dogs, ps4 vs ps3 (sprinkled with bonus wiiu)version:


TLDR: Both xbox series consoles gonna be dropped like hot potato latest by 2030, and ps5 which will likely have well over 100m units(hell, maybe even 120m) even if it gets downport here and there up to 2032 that version gonna look and run artrocious in comparision to proper midgen pc and next gen xbox/ps6.
