Like I said... It was 40% this morning:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/11/16/social-media-making-it-hard-to-gauge-scope-of-ps4s-technical-difficulties/

"Amazon, for example, has about 600 reviews of the PlayStation 4 launch edition up right now. The console is sitting at about 3 out of 5 stars, not due to middling scores, but because of 320 five star reviews and 260 one star reviews. Nearly all of the one star reviews are complaining about faulty hardware. Does that mean that the PS4 has a 40% failure rate? Of course not. "

You are doing it wrong

How so? I did mention that IF the reviews are true... They could be fake but if the reviews are true, it was 40% failure rate based on the amazon's reviews... I mentioned all that or are you too blind to see?


What you can say is that 40% of those who decided to write an Amazon review had a failure, but you can't just assume that those with bricked consoles are just as likely to write up a review on amazon as ones that don't.  Even if we assume every single 1 star review is totally accurate that would not mean a 40% failure rate by any stretch of the imagination.
