PS4 failure reporting is completely overblown by opposing fanboys

How? Because I simple show a forum of 8 pages of people facing issues with the ps4, to demonstrate my concern. These issues aren't fabricated and some are serious.

Complaints are going to continue to grow once  more people get their hands on the console. You think it won't?  Even if is a small minority of PS4's issue will always be reported, it doesn't exaxtly help the ps4 does it.

As a consumer, I would never want to buy a faulty product, regardless if it is a recently launched product.

You do know that the average failure rate on new hardware at launch is 15%???????

so that means if Sony shipped 1 million then upto 150000 could be faulty. This is nothing new or anything to get excited about

The 15% failure rate is a normal average in the first 3 years per Square Trade for electronics.  link     That level at immediate launch would be much worse as some that are working now would fail over that time period pushing it much higher.

That said at this point it's all small numbers and anecdotal - there is no way any kind of meaninful trend can be discerned at this point.

Let's hope it's isolated incidences so as many people can enjoy their new toys as possible!
