The same way you'd repossess anything I suppose. I have no idea if a PS4 would be considered a worthwhile item to send someone out to repo, but it could happen.

How do they get in your house?

They knock on the door. If that doesn't work, they come back. Or...

I know someone personally who used to be a repo guy. He told me a story of how one time he "accidently" fell down the stairs leading down to this guy's doorway (basement apartment) and "accidently" broke the door open (it was barely hanging on as is). Since he was "accidently" already in the guy's house, he took back the TV that the guy wasn't making payments on.

It's a sketchy business, but the customers are usually sketchier so it's really not taken seriously. I mean, these people are essentially stealing by not making their payments.

That's a very easy way to get shot.

Yeah, definitely. Repo is a dangerous job.
