Same as the old PSP with reports of dead pixels, analog issues, and the Square button sticking. It's to be expected with a console launch and is another reason why many people wait before buying a new console. Since the arrival of the disc based systems, I can remember:

360: RRoD, System overheating, adapter actually burning
PS3: YLoD, Bricking, HDD issues
PSP: Dead Pixels, bricking after updates, square button sticking
3DS: Top screen scratching, loose hinges
DS Lite: Hinge cracking
DS: Hinge breaking
PS2: Disc Read Error, couldn't read many DVD's
PS1: Spindel would fall off, weak motor for spinning discs
Xbox: Would brick, HDD issues
GBA: Would get drunk and gamble away its paycheck
Dreamcast: Liked to hide in the closet and watch his wife have sex with other men

So the PSV having problems is no big deal. It's just the way things are. Cars, TV's, Phones, Computers, Clothes, --you name it and there's some percentage of defects.


I like how you have no Nintendo consoles on that list. Why? Because I still have my 64 and use it daily! The original one! My Wii has hit the floor countless times, My GC never had a problem, SNES lasted for 7 years, NES was originally stolen after 3.

The DS did have a dingy dark screen problem a few times though. My phone used to have phantom fingers when I first bought it where buttons would just press like crazy!

Nintendo is the only one with a seal of quality. There`s no competition in this sector, the Nintendo home consoles are  indestructible.

Gamecube was the ultimate in this regard (vid in Spanish):

It's broken in half and still turns on!

I remember G4TV's X-Play did a segment over the PS2, Xbox and Gamecube. Damn GameCube wouldn't die!!!!
