I had a lot of fun with my Vita even without hacking it. It had a longer lifetime than people realize, in part through digital sales and indie games that were planning to do PS3/PS4 releases anyway.
When a new generation starts, I hook it up in the living room, move the previous gen to the bedroom, and mothball the oldest gen.
So when I kick off, my kid, or grand kids, are going to discover organized boxes of gaming gear. I’m sure it will be all over whatever passes for social media then. :)
Currently:
Living Room - PS5, Xbox Series X, Steam Deck Dock.
“meaning the other 59 million must still be using the PlayStation 4.”
That’s not what that means.
As of last December there were still 2 million active PS3 users.

I’d imagine there’s still a limited number of PS Vita and PSTV accounts too.
Hacked Vita is still great.
Hacked Vita with RetroArch is so so so much fun!!
Hacked vita is goated
I love my vita !

I stopped at the PS2…
Still the best console of all time so that’s a pretty solid stopping point
The best console is still foot with bash.
Forgive me while I groan
I don’t think PSN applied to the PS2, started with the PS3.
PS2 didn’t have networking apart from the odd firewire port and a very expensive devkit.
Pretty sure all the slims had a built in Ethernet port and I think there was an adapter to add them to the original fat ones too
One of these years my children will discover the PS3 hidden unused in the entertainment center since they were born, and there’ll be 2mil+1. Muhaha.

I still use my PS3, enough great and cheap games and can play my PS1 and 2 games on the big screen with wireless controllers.
Newer games I play on PC anyways.
