Why it worked

Summary

Product placement

PlayStation 5 (PS5): A video game console that plays games from discs or digitally. It appears on screen and is spoken about. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: A video game. It is the subject of the dialogue and on-screen text. Removing it would change what happens in the video.

On-screen text

What happens when Otacon asks you to swap discs when you're playing on PS5 👀 Hold it, Snake. Time to change the disc. I know, I know... It's a pain. But you need to swap Disc 1 for Disc 2. You see the disc labeled "2"? No. Oh, wait. We're on PlayStation®5. It uses high-capacity media, too. No need to swap. Damn it, Otacon, get a grip! Yeah, what an age we live in, huh, Snake? Wonder what they'll think of next!
