Although Amazon buyers reported some complaint about their newly buy PS4 units, the company issued a product alert, it says that they are currently sold out of the Playstation inventory.
In the business insider article Sony confirms that they are aware that some people have reported issues with their PlayStation 4 systems. And they are closely monitoring for additional reports, but they think these are isolated incidents and represent a very small percentage of total units shipped to consumers to date.
In the meantime, Sony PS4 competitor Microsoft Xbox One set their release date this coming Friday, November 22, 2013 a week after the release of PS4.
