The last PS3 model that Sony continued manufacturing appears to have been the 500GB Super Slim, and reporting from March 2017 says production in Japan was ending soon, with U.S. shipments already having ended in October 2016.

So, if you mean “how old is it now” as of July 2026, that last-manufactured PS3 is about 9 years old if you count from the 2017 end-of-production window, or about 10 years old if you use the 2016 U.S. shipment end as the reference point.

Quick read

  • Last PS3 production model: 500GB Super Slim.
  • Japan production was said to be ending in 2017.
  • U.S. shipments had already ended in 2016.

Why the wording matters

“Last PS3 ever being manufactured” usually refers to the final PS3 variant Sony kept making, not the first PS3 launch model from 2006. That final model was produced much later in the console’s life cycle, so its age depends on whether you measure from the console generation’s launch or from the final production run.

TL;DR

The last manufactured PS3 is roughly 9–10 years old today, depending on whether you count from late production in 2016 or the Japan production wind- down in 2017.
