"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

Notes

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.
