Last time I checked, Hynix doesn't even make the chips the PS4 uses (5.5GHz parts).

And the fire was "at the end of the factory", meaning the clean rooms (where the chips are made) were not harmed. My guesss is they have to toss out the latest chip run (electricity certainly went down), and start production again in less than a week.

Probably because you were whining about people ignoring the potential loss of a few lives in comparison to child hunger, which goes largely undiscussed.

By the way, the word is spelled ridiculous. Not RE-diculous. It stems from the word ridicule.

Typo, anyway doesn't matter since noone was hurt.

And it look like it hasn't made much (if any) impact on production - Kudos to GAF.
