The apparent reason is that the rubber "feet" are positioned as pointed out here:

Poor oversight than Im sure will be corrected in future runs.
In the mean time Sony has been quoted as saying they will be shipping early adopters cheaply made Ikea tables to rectify the problem. :p

I'll pick up some sand paper and some dremel bits on Friday to grind/sand them down.
 
Picking up some stick on rubber feet at the dollar store would be quicker and cheaper.
They even sell them in packs of varying shapes and sizes.
 
I've seen numerous GIFs of this.. is it part of the design or flawed units?

Don't care that much as my PS4 won't be getting touched much.. maybe for Blu-rays since I'm going all digi.
 
Table was uneven.
Also, the guy was butchering the console with a tool. Pretty sure he probably had to remove a rubber foot to get to a screw.

No the problem was reported by two different gaming sites who had the console in hand.
Come on Schultzy give me SOME credit.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, how about that. :)
Anyway, can't a Chinese factory slave make a mistake once in a while?
Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if MS and Sony consoles come from the same or related factory.
3 million consoles...you're gonna have defects. Seriously though, what we're really concerned about is engineering F-ups. Recall-calibur stuff.
 
It only wobbles with a bit of physical force exerted. Would it wobble with a loud thud from my close lying subwoofer?

Giantbombs PS4 also did it and their table was fine. Odd design choice if it is that.

Oh I know, that's why I made this thread tongue in cheek.

Yes. And I highly doubt it.

The Nintendough propaganda in full effect. How much does it cost to buy forum posters Digital Joker? ;)

A grand in crisp hundred dollar bills. Which coincidently i'll be using to prop up my wobbley PS4. :p
 
Wobbling isn't the main issue, since most people won't touch their consoles during operation. The main issue is the uneven level, which probably won't affect disc operation, but might.

I think about 90% of modern TV stands have a layout for components underneath to lay horizontal. I'll probably tear a rubber sticky off an old toaster or something to make it not wobble.

Put a penny underneath it. They have to be good for something.
