so you do admit there is a known problem that affects a least a few people? Enough for them to issue a semi recall for all units effected by it?

Hence why I asked why there's such a lack of reaction. I know I can never prove how many actual units are bugged by this, just like I can't prove how many 360 units got RRoD.

but the known fact is, there is a problem to begin with.

This must be the 10th time I'm saying this, and it will be my last.

Nobody is denying that there is a known problem. Nintendo immediately admitted that there is one and offered to fix it for free for the people affected by it.

Why there has been a lack of reaction has been answered numerous times before in this thread, but here it goes again:

Microsoft tried to cover the RRoD problem for a very long time before they finally admitted that there actually is a problem. If a 360 RRoDs, there is nothing you can do with it anymore. People had to pay for repairs or buy a new system before MS offered their extended 3 year warranty for RRoD issues. The failure rate is much higher than on any other console released before. These were good enough reasons for people to get angry at Microsoft.

On the other hand, Nintendo admits that there is a problem from day 1, offers free fixing and the number of disc read errors are much lower than RRoD. WPB only leads to the inability to play SSBB, but you can still play all other games on your system. Because Nintendo addressed the issue immediately, people are much more relaxed and forgiving.

 I thought we didn't know the number of disc read errors.
