So why do most of the PS4s I find on ebay all say "Made in China"? Are the parts made in China and then assembled in Japan at the Kisarazu plant? Or are they only making PS4 units in Japan for the domestic Japanese market...and making the rest of the world's units in China?

Sony uses multiple OEMs, including Sony EMCS in Japan and Foxconn in China.

Usually, the first batches of a Sony product are made in Japan or the ones sold domestically.

If you buy an early PlayStation 1, 2, 3 or 4 in Japan, they're usually all Made in Japan.

I guess only a certain fraction of it is made in this factory and possibly just to Japan's domestic market.
