What was around or ended more recently than people think?

I think the best example is the PlayStation 2 being discontinued in 2013, as well the PlayStation 1 in 2006

This doesn't qualify. Slavery is still in use in the world. You'd have to use a modifier like American slavery or the enslavement of x, y, z, people.

You're completely right. I did the American thing that Americans are wont to do. Apologies.

Correct. People are enslaved all over the world, but there's a faction that loves to call prison labor "slavery" or "chattel slavery". It reflects a lack of understanding of what slavery is and devalues the people who actually do get bought and sold, even today.
