Sony PS3 console after-sales service officially terminated! A generation of magic machines come to an end

Today, Sony’s official account announced on social media that it will officially stop the after-sales service of the PS3 console, as well as the after-sales service of all PS3 peripherals.

According to official news, Sony will officially stop providing after-sales service for PS3 CECH-4300 series consoles and all supporting peripherals after April 30 this year due to the early depletion of spare parts inventory .

For a game console whose first version was released in 2006, 16 years of maintenance is enough to call it “end of life”.

On November 11, 2006, Sony officially launched the third game console in the PlayStation series, the PS3. Once the console was released, it set off a wave of purchases worldwide.

As a game console that competes directly with Sony and the Xbox 360, the PS3 quickly gained a considerable market share by virtue of the performance advantages brought by the late release and the impact of the early “three red” problems of the Xbox 360.

At the same time, during the PS3 period, Sony Interactive Entertainment also further strengthened its first-party exclusive game lineup. IPs such as “Uncharted”, “God of War” and “The Last Survivor” are still familiar to this day. Brilliant results.

The official termination of the PS3 after-sales service this time not only announced the end of a generation of magic machines, but also represented the slow end of a generation of consoles.
