We have been running 2 ps4 and 2 ps4 pro consoles since they released and Never had any issues. As with every console or pc, you have to clean it once in a while b/c of the dust etc. but besides that they have always been running great.
PS5 also still going strong after ~18 months of heavy use.
Are you sure your ps4 didn’t overheat b/c of built up dust/hair and such?
