(90) total PS4 reported on VGC with (1) casualty.

Total failure rate = 1.11%.

 

* There is always the possibly of some overlap when speaking in regards to people on PSN friend lists. VGC member % are the most accurate of the ones I have listed.

I love your report. It's factual, unlike that of some other users around here ;)

I did one for Amazon last night in another thread. Of course though it was comparing ALL 1 star votes across all their PS4 bundles to the 1M total sold as reported by Sony. I mentioned that if Amazon is indeed an isolated incident it only equals out to ~.066% failure rate.

Of course there will be more than just those, but no way is it around the 30-40% some were thinking at first.

 

From what I am seeing the reports only seemed to be incredibly widespread because SO many consoles were sold in such a short amount of time. 

Someone else also mentioned how Sony tech support said they had a waiting line of 800 calls about DOA consoles. Even then, if we bumped it up to 1,000 consoles DOA it would only be a 0.1% failure rate. Bump it to 10,000 consoles DOA and you're talking only 1%.
