And plenty more.  Forbes says it best.  It is hard to tell yet.

Also, hopefully people will do some research first before freaking out and calling customer service.  My issue was the misaligned piece of metal in the HDMI port as reported by Kotaku.  A quick 5-second fix and my PS4 is now working fine.  As with any piece of electronic, sometimes you think it's broken but it's really just a loose screw or cable that you can easily fix yourself.  I'm guessing one of the factories received a batch of poorly made HDMI ports that had misaligned pins/metal flap.
