Or you could have just bought another ps2, keeping the value of all the games you had, because you surely lost a lot of the value by selling them. |
and then buy another one.... and another one.... then a bunch of second hand ones.....

The failure rate was not that bad. In fact, most of the problems ps2s ran into was lens motor, which occurred due to overuse of the system.
So, you can always just tighten the arm on the motor or you can buy another one.
This arm is the one thing that affected ps2s over anything else, which either gave a clicking noise, or made no noise whatsoever.

No... it was that bad.
Sony lost MULTIPLE lawsuits because of it.
It was right up there with the 360.
Infact when polled the failure rate was well above 50% just like the 360. Both likely overblown. But they were the same level.
|
SO a guaranteed break within two years? That's a no.
failure rate does have something to do with time as well. 50% means one out of two break within a year. That's simply not true.
There were two or three shipments out of the 150M or so consoles that had problems. This is the reality:
Optical arm is wear and tear, not failure or defect. I'd like to see a graph from a well respected source showing how failure prone the ps2 was.
Me and my roommate had two ps2s, both died. Due to problems with the lens, either dust or the motor arm. Both were 6+ years old. Which would be a 15% failure rate, if those were failures. Which they are not, they are issues of wear and tear. The difference? One is based on how the console is made, and the other is based on how the console exists in my environment.
Those consoles from the shipments were defective and prone to failure. Sony was on top of it immediately. Slims were known to combust, and Sony fixed everything immediately.

You can keep lieing to youself if you want but nobody is going to dispute that the PS2 is the 2nd most unreliable console out there.
|
In the same way that home schooling is the second most popular way to school your children.
|
That would make sense if there were only 2 consoles ever. As there aren't... and just about anyone will tell you PS2s are of questionable quality.... with the only dissenters being sony fanboys....
Or is just that a lot of people calling reliability a factor just a coincidence?
|
Ok, it was a bad analogy, but a good comparison in terms of the failure rates. SOME of the PS2s did have questionable quality. I know that, and already wrote it three posts back. But out of the total, those were fixed and replaced, and were continued to be replaced. MS had a limit to their fixes.
So in terms of comparing failure rates, there is a huge difference in both rates and quality assurance.
