Hi all,
PR 5850 is proposing to add a predefined (reserved) version identifier for the
PS4 OS: "PS4" [1].
Thanks for your comment (preferably with an alternative suggestion in case you
don't like "PS4").

Thanks,

As others suggested, me kinda prefer "PlayStation4" as there's little doubt what that refers to.

As per popular request I have changed the commit to reserve "PlayStation" and "PlayStation4".

First of all, if what Johan says is right about "PlayStation" reserving all additions to the keyword as well (PlayStation4, PlayStation5, PlaystationOver9000) then my reasoning behind reserving "PlayStation4" is for claritys sake and for the documentation.

If it isn't right, "PlayStation" is a good keyword because there might be a possibility to reuse code between the PS4 and a theoretical future PS5.
