===== WiFi on E3 =====
Knowing the WiiU loses connection easily with its 5G wifi, how does the wifi on PS4 relate on a crowded environment? :

== "Always On" feature ==
There seem to be no requirement for a continious internet connection (ofcourse unless you want to use services that require them, like [[PSN]]/SEN, online mediaservices, share button etc.).

Same requirements as WiiU - while in the Xbox field there was some discussion about the need of it. See also : http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/microsoft-exec-stirs-controversy-always-xbox-twitter-tirade-173337715.html

== OtherOS (Linux / BSD) ==
* None

== Backwards compatibility ==
=== Hardware ===
* Does not support [[Glossary#SACD|Super Audio CD (SACD)]]
* Does not support PS3 DualShock 3 or PS3 Sixaxis
* Supports PS Move
=== Software ===
* PS3 disc/media will not work directly.
* PS1/PSone, PS2/PStwo, PS3 game support via cloud service.

=== Comparison Table ===
::"you can emulate with a PC, 90% of the things that the PS4 will never do, by just turning it off."

This chart is not complete but feel free to complete it (Also for any typos).

==== Not everywhere ====
above table should be merged with [[Countries]]

http://www.gamesreviews.com/news/06/ps4-online-blocked-for-countries-without-a-store/

for EU: "Bahrain, Lebanon, Romania, Oman, Slovakia, Malta, Cyprus and Iceland.”


Vietnam does not even have a PS4 page @ http://asia.playstation.com/vn/en/regional

==== Final closure ====
Fiscal year ends at March 31st for Sony, so that puts a nice end date for when all applicable regions should have had their initial release.

 <Roxanne> 2014: (Iceland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Ukraine)
