"No, I won't because "on-going" implies that more PS4 are being made and they keep breaking, as if the problem isn't being fixed at the source. We have an official figure based on the initial shipment of PS4s. They aren't "still breaking" when there's no new stock being put in the channels. We have the sell through number from the initial wave of consoles sold (over 1 million) and the figure that less than 0.4% are broken."
The question was: are PS4's still breaking? If you want to exclude all existing PS4's from this question, then of course the answer is "No", because they have not been made yet. But that is a very strange interpretation of the original question. Why would the OP want to know about the status of consoles that have not even been produced yet? It is obvious that the OP asked about PS4's that are out in the market right now. And the answer is "Yes, they are still breaking".
"If we see more reports and official percentages increase and go from 0.4% to 1%, 1% to 1.5%, etc. then we can call it an "on-going" issue"
We are seeing more reports. Amazon reviews are being added even as we speak, many of which complain about the exact issue. Just because Sony has released no official numbers does not mean that it is not happening.
"And I don't think my accusation is without substance. It is based on reasonable evidence. And that is the fact that we're having this conversation because the media made it a huge issue (when it isn't) and that came to be because of that small sample of initial reports."
The accusation you made is not that I read the media, but that I based my opinion on those initial media statements. That is rubbish and purely of your own invention.
"Sure.....my accusation is just completely baseless and without substance *shrugs*"
It is. You have not addressed my claims, but invented your own and attacked them instead. Classic straw man. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man.
