situation. There are 7 reports of XBone issues, so that means they're all breaking! And it's only 7 so far. To deny these *sneer* damning statistics is you just covering up that Microsoft has put out a bad product

When almost 30% of the reviews on your product is 1-star DOA reviews from verified customers, then the problem can hardly be described as "small, small, *small*". And there are almost a thousand of them, not the 8 you are talking about. 

30% of what, reviews. You do comprehand vast majority of people that order products will not go review it posativly.

It is true that any product on Amazon attracts both unfair positive and negative reviews, so you can't use the absolute numbers. What you need to do is to compare the PS4 against similar products on Amazon to get an idea of the size of the problem.

Do other technology products sold by Amazon attract a 25% DOA ratio? If not, why is the PS4 different? Is it perhaps because the PS4 has a higher failure rate than other products?

If Amazon is changing the packaging, then that means the product may be vulnerable to physical moving about. Is that going to be a problem for the PS4? Is it indicative of loose parts, or dodgy assembly? If I move house, do I need to take special care how I move my console?

These are the questions that I think is important when evaluating the quality of a product.
