Sony’s first new console in seven years, the PlayStation 4, hit the market Friday, but the launch was not without its glitches. Among the reported hardware problems were some complete failures. Less catastrophic, some systems would not output a signal through HDMI. Some issues cropped up following installation of the Day 1 patch, intended to offer additional functionality that was not ready by the time units started shipping. Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida said the company is looking into those reports.
