The good and the bad reviews seem to go up

Right now, its about 34% (448 failed out of 1290 sold) failure rate (if the reviews are true) which is better than the 40% it was this morning... 

To be clear, that would be 34% _OF THE 1290 REVIEWS_ posted to Amazon, not 34% of all PS4's sold by Amazon. I would guess the 'sold' number is in the tens of thousands range, so that actual failure rate of the hardware is likely orders of magnitude lower than 34%

 

Yea... If I wanted to say "of all the ps4 that was sold by Amazon" I would state something like: Total Sales or 40% of ALL ps4's sold by amazon... Interesting how people misinterpreted what I said to that degree... I didn't think I had to state the obvious :/

The whole problem is based off the fact that you said "448 failed out of 1290 sold." So people aren't misinterpreting what you said. They are misinterpreting what you meant, but you did say it incorrectly. It should be "448 failed out of 1290 reviewed." Then what you said would be true and I don't think anyone would have a real problem with it. I believe the positive/negative ratio for reviews is very telling for products as well. Just word it better.

Edit: dang it, ratchet426 beat me to it. I always take to long to respond...
