I used to work in an electronics repair shop and yes, yes it does. And for some reason it seemed (and this is purely from my anecdotal experience) to happen most often to the PS4 specifically. It’s housing makes for a perfect warm, dry, dark place with vent holes just large enough for roaches. I wish I was kidding you, but before we would even agree to repair a PS4 you had to agree to let me open the console inside a garbage bag at the front desk, and if we found any roaches, even dead ones, we had to turn down the repair.
Edit : And I should mention a lot of these were clean, newer looking consoles. The outside and the inside are different creatures.
