A new image circulating online shows a PlayStation 3 being used to hold open a door to what appears to be an electronics store. The console has accumulated a fair amount of water on the top, raising questions as to what monster would leave the poor console out in the cold to die. It’s a sad fate for the system, especially considering that even Microsoft’s failed Kinect is being used as a security camera in some airports.

So far, the image has raised quite a bit of Internet commentary from members of the online community upset at how the poor device is being treated. It’s a rare moment of unity for a community usually divided by more used to fighting over consoles than for them. While the console likely broke some time ago, hopefully before it was used as a doorstop, it’s still sad to see one of the best consoles of all time used for such a low purpose.
Considering that the United States Air Force once used a cluster of PlayStation 3’s to create a supercomputer, it’s fair to say that this is quite the fall from grace for the console. It’s probably only a matter of time before the internet discovers who was responsible for using the console as a doorstop, unleashing a tide of angry PlayStation fans.
The PlayStation 5 is coming next holiday season, and it’s fair to say it wouldn’t like seeing how its grandfather is being treated. Of course, this likely means that there are only a few more years before pictures of the PlayStation 4 being used as a doorstop begin to pop up, a reminder of the sad fate all technology will inevitably face. That is, of course, until the robots rise up to destroy us all.
