If this is the case we would want to use Orbis.
As Seb also pointed out on GitHub, I've seen LLVM use "PS4"
internally, and it always seemed rather natural to me. On the
other hand, with Orbis I would have had no idea what the code
was about, and it's not like you can really install another
operating system on a PS4 anyway. (Yes, I'm aware of the
Jailbreak/Homebrew community, but that's rather besides the
point.)

Another argument for PS4 is that if (when) a PS5 is released
and we get D working on it they would follow a pattern instead
of calling the PS5 whatever it's OS is nicknamed.
Because of that, I prefer "PlayStation". Any additions to a
reserved identifier name are also reserved, so it would reserve
"PlayStation4", "PlayStation5", "PlayStationOver9000"...
And just "PS" would be very tiny.
