no issues have popped up here yet though. Its most likely wayyyy overblown (that's obvious to me).

This 1,000,000 times!!  People need to get it straight that "ALL" hardware will have some defects.  If this was a really huge issue, we would be hearing reports out the ass on Twitter, Facebook, Forums, etc.  And I have yet to see any bad PS4's being reported beyond what is normal.  Just so happens the internet is the biggest library of information as well and it's easily accessible so anyone that has a bad one can shout it from the roof tops all they want until it sounds like it's the biggest failure of all time.

Also mine is working just fine so far. 

It probably is overblown.  However, we won't know for sure until a year or so from now.  It could turn into as big of an issue as the RROD or it could just be a few systems.  One thing is for sure is that most Sony and especially Microsoft consumers seem to remain loyal even when they bought a defective system.  I could never forgive Sony for my launch PS1 that gave out at just over a year.  They did replace it with a newer model for $75 but I felt betrayed that the system barely lasted over a year.  Basically, it will take time to sort all this out.
