Oh, and it's on the bottom of the console. It will say where and when it was manufactured. Mine was made in September in China. I don't believe the intern douche though.

Where are you from that everything is made in Japan? Everyone uses China to make their **** which is a real shame. It would be nice if it were Japan, stuff would probably be much better made.

Not really sure what you mean by first/second wave, nor why you want to know anyway (since there haven't been any major hardware revisions yet). There's a little bit of info here on this to compare to the sticker on the back of your PS4.

The only revision so far was a change in the WiFi antenna.
