This gives me so much nostalgia when ps4 first launched i watched this like 16 times

Moments ago, my PS4 unboxing overtook the Wii U as my most popular video to date. It did in four months what took the Wii U sixteen. The console wars are most definitely here!!

Damn I remember watching this when I was a 15 yr old, we came from a middle class family and couldnt afford one so I just watch videos of people unboxing it and this video is my favorite!
Now that i have job Im surely gonna buy the ps5! How time flies man.

I remember this video. I was 14 at the time. Had a ps4 but didn't get the chance to unbox it, so I was looking for a video to experience the unboxing. This is my most memorable. The nostalgia 😭

It's been 5 years and I'm finally getting my ps4 tomorrow and Im so hyped wish me luck

Watch my Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4) unboxing, setup & system config video. The PS4's not too difficult to configure, but the PlayStation Network (PSN) is under heavy strain today. What do you think of the console so far?

I remember watching this video 6 years ago. It feels like I watched it yesterday. Crazy to think that the next generation consoles are coming out in a month. Crazy how fast time goes man❤️🙏

Since I now own a PS5, I’ll always have such great memories with PS4 and this video just gives such nostalgia of unboxing and setting up my PS4

For a guy with 30, 000+ subscribers, you reply to like half of your comments. You deserve way more fame bro. You earned a sub by the way.

I've owned a PS4 for a while but I still go back to this video for the nostalgia. It's insane how excited I was for this new console I learned everything about it.

[B_Tips]

Already have a PS4 and I still enjoy watching these unboxing videos. I don't know why it's so satisfying.

[Gamebits]

Happy birthday to the PlayStation 4! My unboxing came out a year ago today and now has 2.5 million views; meanwhile, my Xbox One unboxing doesn't have even 1 million. Will the gap only expand in the second year of #PS4  vs. #XboxOne ?

In my opinion you are a very good youtuber . This video was posted near a year ago and you are still active and replying and helping other people . I don't normally see this in more popular youtube videos and it is clear that you put a lot of effort into this .

I remember back when that released I wanted one so badly in which at the time I couldn't afford. Overtime I was able to nab the call of duty 1 TB system with the orange matte finish and controller. To this day I still love that system.

"Friends? I have no friends." damn that hit me hard

[Nikketmzee]

I know I'm a bit late to the party but, I'm getting a ps4 on Sunday, and I'm just watching a lot of unboxing videos 😭 Oh man I'm so hype 😍

[rijulbhambry]

And I will spend my whole life trying to convince my parents to buy the ps4. And when I will finally get it ps6 would be going to launch. My life 😭

[GoogleUser-eitp]

Just wanna say thank you for uploading this video my man. So much nostalgia. And also the fact that you're replying for comments on this video is amazing. Keep up the good work and have an amazing day dude.

[ChampionArtorias]

I was 16 years old when PS4 launched back in 2013 and I used to watch this video at least a couple of times every single day back then. Now I'm 26, married and have two kids of my own but nostalgia is too strong for me to ever forget that period of my life.
