All four corners are moving, so it's more likely that they have a shitty table.

I highly doubt that the PS4 is so bowed out in the bottom that this happens...

 

[Alcoholikaust]

again I say: who would put that sexy beast on its side?

for shame

 

[Xander51]

You guys should watch their full unboxing video. The system only has feet on one end and in the middle, and there's no sign of there ever having been one on the other end. I don't think they just knocked a foot off.

Wobble station

From the Giant Bomb Unboxing Video:

What the actual fuck? How is this the first we are hearing of this? My OCD levels are spinning out of control.

I don't know why, but this response made me LOL at work. Boss asked me what I was laughing at. Ha!

 

[TheRealTalker]

Looks unbalanced

MS was right all along!

 

[Creaking]

It's settled then. They've lost their last ace.

 

[user friendly]

@YOSP!

 

[SwiftDeath]

Wobblegate

I now understand what MS's technical fellows were on about

It's all so clear now

 

[Glass Shark]

I can't tell what's sarcasm and what's real anymore.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

lol I love how ps4 bad news is always based off one or a few incidents.

I'm just going to take this as a bad unit or trolling

 

[Killthee]

It has to be a unit with the rubber foot missing.

Looks unbalanced

lol

 

[Pixels]

Lets all overreact!

 

[DeadcatXL]

Preorder balanced

 

[Hari Seldon]

That can't be real can it? I've ordered the vertical stand so hopefully it doesn't affect me.

Wait... you need a stand to make it vertical? And it is not included? What the fuck.

 

[bgbball31]

Yeah, I saw that in the video and it is going to make me crazy knowing it is there. I may just slide something under it and make it sit level though.

 

[lifa-cobex]

Pre-order canceled

 

[IAmRandom31]

Seriously guys. You think a company is going to put billions into system development just to forget to use a freaking bubble level to make sure the system is even? lmao.

 

[Steve McQueen]

Looks unbalanced

Nice!

 

[kurahadol]

People are really reaching to fault either system, god bless console wars.

 

[Chamber]

It's settled then. They've lost their last ace.

The Sony brand is over.

 

[Saint Gregory]

"wobbles when poked down with pressure to make it wobble"

Uh, unless that's a bad unit that looks really bad to me. The last thing that you would want is a device with a spinning disc drive that isn't completely stable.

 

[AgentLampshade]

This shouldn't bother me. I know it shouldn't. It takes no enjoyment out the games themselves.

So why is it really bothering me?!

 

[IHaveCandy]

They couldn't make the whole console float like the Xbox One.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Looks like a rubber foot or something is missing?

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Xbox One 1 - 0 PlayStation 4

 

[ambar_hitman]

So much power is making it unbalanced.


Seriously, this cant be the case with all PS4s right? It is pretty terrible if true.

 

[Breemin]

I cant imagine playing the PS4 while thinking about it possibly wobbling.. This is BAD!!!

 

[flyinpiranha]

"wobbles when poked down with pressure to make it wobble"

What? I can press down on 100% of my electronics and they won't do that. What kind of shit stuff do you own, lol?

That's is pretty crazy, something must be going on outside of what we think (shitty manufacturing) because no device should be 'loose' like that, that is going to be reading disks and having the eject/power button pushed often.

 

[Bor]

Looks unbalanced

should have been first post

 

[bassman2112]

I could not possibly care any less.

 

[____]

Is it not possible the table could be warped?

This seems almost impossible.

 

[Lunzio]

I've seen quite a few by now and they haven't done that.

More people should see this!

 

[todd360]

This shit is worse than the 3 red lights fiasco! How many ps4s will I have to buy before I get a precision balanced model!

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Looks like a rubber foot or something is missing?

More than likely.

 

[WonkyPanda]

We're going with "wobblegate" right?

 

[Midas]

You've got to understand that this is by choice, much like the square button on the PSP. It's all a plan by Kutaragi.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

How did they not think of having rubber feet on all four corners/edges of the console? That's the thing that takes a second to just tack on but prevents completely annoying and unnecessary faults like this.

 

[Beer Monkey]

This isn't that big of a deal just put some bricks or cinder blocks on top and I'm sure it will be stable.

 

[TomoK]

Just put those little sticky grippy thingeys at each side to balance it.

It's funny that the Xbox One is designed to be horizontal, while the PS4 is designed to be vertical, assuming this is true of course, and not a defective unit.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Funny how all the other people never mentioned that in their unboxing of the machine Could be on that persons end.

 

[CambriaRising]

It does not "Wobble" unless pressed. Its physics, if you press on an object with a base center of gravity it will move to the pressed side all things being equal.

I do see that it is a tad raised on that side however, but that is a completely separate thing. To say that it "Wobbles when put horizontally" is sensationalism.

 

[Drake Dagan]

If I wobble my PS4 with a disc in will it scratch the disc?

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

First person is first to discover a problem.

"WHY HAVEN'T WE HARD ABOUT THIS BEFORE?!"

 

[Steel]

Hey they were saying that the ps4 is better with a stand standing up lol, probably doesn't wobble in that case..

 

[Silky]

I only use my consoles horizontally. Vertical is a huge hazard in my home of loud, noisy, hyperactive children.

What a shame.

 

[Majine]

Time for a horizontal Stand!

 

[GlamFM]

I've seen quite a few by now and they haven't done that.

Good to know. Though it seemed that this wasn't the first time Jeff saw a PS4 wobble..

 

[John Rabbit]

going to be displaying it vertically so not really an issue for me, but that is kind of...lame.

 

[Marleyman]

Weird that it would be like that; obviously would help if others are seeing this same issue.
