RazorDragon on 16 November 2013

Sure. Everything bad that happens with a Sony branded hardware is someone else's fault.

Looks like my conspiracy theories are right from time to time. Kind of screwed up that the intern screws over the PS4 when when Sony, like every other hardware manufacturer that has product assembled there, has nothing to do with the working conditions.

I still can't believe they had interns making the launch systems...huge mistake by Sony imo especially considering from the story the interns were studying completely different subjects and knew nothing about this.

How's it a mistake by Sony?  Foxconn is the one getting the interns to assemble the product.

I would assume Sony has a say in who is making the PS4s.

So does Apple and the other thousand other companies that use Foxconn. It's shitty, but Sony is a business looking for the cheapest way to get the most consoles out. How Foxconn operates is up to the Chinese government and it's laws.

i guess the interns forgot to put the secret sauce in the wii u also?

also what does field of study got to do with assembling electronics? most factory works probably don't even have a higher education hence why they don't protest working for small money.

also if this is true Sony is responsible for it. It is their product, they should make sure conditions are reasonable to ensure their products are made correctly instead of trun a blind eye to save a few dollars.

If this is ture than Sony would be liable to sue Foxconn and make $$$

well their first mistake was foxconn can we get any cheaper motherboards? no wonder they fail horribly. you would think putting that much money into a console they would have decent motherboards not foxconn. SMDH any pc builder knows never to build a pc using foxconn hardware.

The PS4 they assembled can be turned on at best. At worst, it can play Knack. Hey-o!

Hahaha, absolutely brilliant. 

I love poking fun at Knack and I love seeing others do it too.

I wonder if the Xbox One was also affected.


well the reports about only mentioned the ps4 but i would be suprised if they only used interns to make one and not the other

I tried translating the Chinese texts and it does mention Microsoft, but then again it also mentions Apple - the sentence makes zero sense. Why don't we have any accurate online Chinese translators?

cuz there all made in china.... oh maybe thats why
