osed125 said: I would like hard evidence for this. But anyway the Wii U issues were the extremely painful day 1 patch that took forever even with a fast internet connection and sometimes game freezes. Issues? Yes. Extremely big issues that broke your console? No. So calling the Wii U the worst launch in terms of issues is an exaggeration. If there is a failure rate for Wii U consoles at launch I would like to see it, and I honestly doubt is very high. |
Google: Wii U Launch Hardware Failures

"There have been other reported concerns including Wi-Fi configuration issues, HDMI output failures, and in one instance, a user claims to have gained access to an admin debug menu while attempting to configure the console's Miiverse social networking service."

"3) Bricked Consoles: Nintendo has not shipped defective gaming systems, but many are reporting that their systems aren't working properly. That's because Nintendo requires users to download a 5GB update to the Wii U directly out of the box in order to enable web-based features. The update reportedly takes about 1-2 hours, and if the internet connection is lost during that period or if the power goes out, or, if the user simply grows tired of the update and turns the system off, the Wii U is bricked. Several reports of bricked consoles have surfaced since the Wii U launch. Thankfully, consoles should still be covered by the company's 12-month warranty. Nintendo has not made an official statement about the bricked consoles at this time."

There are dozem of realtes about consoles broke at launch... Nintendo even replaced batch of consoles... just take the Wii U issues and change the name for PS4 and you have your answer.
But I'm surprise how the people forget one of the worstest launch in the console history in terms of failures.
And at the end I'm the biased guy lol
