Ok, my two cents. Do I doubt that most of these reviews are real? No. Do I think this already implies there is a huge problem with hardware failures? No.
The thing is new consumer electronics always have a certain failrate, it was the same with every past generation of consoles. Difference today is how easy it is to let the world know that your console failed. Everyone has an amazon account or a video camera to make a youtube video about it.
Also the 50% spread kinda makes sense, the console isn't even 2 days old, so the only people that already reviewed the thing are the extremely happy fan(boy)s who give nothing but 5 stars and the guys with the failed consoles and both these sites should be taken with a grain of salt. So I would wait a couple weeks before passing judgement
