Let's say this is true and Foxconn was indeed sabotaging PS4 consoles. Isn't Sony supposed to check if the consoles are reaching their quality standards? They will just leave Foxconn do whatever they want with their product without checking how manufacturing is going? I don't buy it.

I said again, if this is true (which I personally doubt), Sony has some blame for this, not all of it, because that of course goes to Foxconn employees, but Sony isn't completely safe from the blame.

 

Do you think they can check every console? Don't think so. The number is still on the low side of failure rates. Wouldn't surprise me if they ones they did pull worked just fine. So is only to blame if their engineering is wrong, if the console is DOA it’s Foxcons fault.

Of course not. Companies can't check every single product they produce, they can however do tests on a single product of a batch. If one product of a single batch doesn't meet their quality standards, they throw all that batch to the trash, sounds extreme, but that's how a lot of companies work. Depending on how the company works, this batches can be every 100 products to every 5000 products, the smaller they are, the percentages of having more issues becomes lower. And all of this I mentioned is Sony's job and not Foxconn's problem.

My point is that if this rumors are true, plus depending on how big the failures rate, this isn't fully Foxconn's fault. If this speculation becomes true, Sony will also have some of the fault. 

But we just have to wait for hard numbers. Until then all I mentioned above is speculation.

 

Sigh... Foxcon is responsible for their QA checks. Sony will also test a bunch of systems to make sure it meets their standards. Foxcon is responsible for any bad systems they sent out. Knowing they are faulty or not. It’s very likely the ones Sony tested from this site where fine or they would have halted the whole line. Figured out the problem and then fixed it.
