Also yeah... the PS1 and PS2 were the shoddiest consoles of their generation.

If quality non eror proned hardware was they key Nintendo should of won europe up to the gamecube era.

 

Did PS1/2 have a well known 16% percent failure rate like 360?  No.

There Bitmap, countered it.

Shoddy boxes sell less well in some regions.

 

Ah, so anxious to prove yourself that you made a major mistake =/ 

Mere amateur, I say.

Things went sour for Sony and they eventually settled, offering freebies and repairs of broken ps2 units. 

Sony was mass-sued in a class action lawsuit built upon the poor quality of the playstation 2 and they were forced to settle. Now that's poor build quality. Even funnier is that Sony tried to blame consumers for this (dust, fingerprints, etc... it's all in the link, read at your pleasure).

You can diss Microsoft as much as you want, but no one has been able to raise a case at the courts, meanwhile the ps2 did and it generated a lot of bad publicity for Sony. Heck, you just have to ask anyone with a ps2... one of my friends is on his 5th ps2. My 2nd ps2 broke down, didn't buy a third. Etc...

Let me repeat this to you so it sinks, Sony was court-ordered to repair playstation 2 units. 

You countered it? Hah. You sank yourself even more. You should have stayed out of the thread.
