Untamoi said: One thing you have to remember about failure rates... They can only get worse as time goes by, they never get better. You can have 0% failure rate within first day but 50% failure rate after 1 year. And pretty every electronics device have almost 100% failure rate after 20 years. |
You're wrong on this. OK, already delivered devices will not get a lower failure-rate, it will only increase. But new devices might have a lower rate, as problems in production are sorted out. So we really don't know at this point, the 0.4% number is fine, a data-point, but it doesn't say much standing alone. It is used for marketing reasons on Sonys side though (calm down worried potential customers), that is completely OK. But we can discuss this number as what it is: one first data point, that will be followed by many others. And at this point we don't really know what happens, the number may go up in the long term or it might go down. We will see.
