Launch console failure rates..
Does this not worry you? The PS3 was pretty bad, but nothing comes close to Microsoft's console failure rates. Especially at launch. Do you feel confident with the launch console you will be getting? Yes, they both say they have everything under control and we wont see the same problems again. But if history is to repeat itself, which it tends to, we likely will see them again. Are you comfortable with the fact that potentially 50% of you may have to send your beloved console in for repairs once, twice, maybe even three times in this generation. Or you may have to fork over $300 for a new console halfway through the generation. Or has Microsoft been in the console business long enough that this is expected from your consoles and it doesn't bother you?

I always wait for a redesign when buyng my Sony and Microsoft consoles. As someone who grew up in the Nintendo and Sega days, I find the quality of launch playstation and xbox hardware completely unacceptable.

Not trying to hate, just curious if it worries you. Proud owner of a PS2 slim, PS3 slim, and crystal Xbox. (PS4 slim in 2-3 years and XB1 slim in 5-6 years)
