This your reaction should have been the normal reaction that any consumer should have had. Instead they inexplicably forgave Microsoft in a day. I never understood it. I never went through that and I hope I never will.


Groan.

I had disc issues with my PS1 and had to have the console on its side or upside down for it to work.

I have gone through several PS2 as they were flimsy and not very reliable (Of my retro consoles, it is the only one I have a back-up system of).

My PS3 fat sounded like a leaf blower after a few months and then YLOD (To be fair, the slim is much less shoddy than the fat)

People seem to have forgiven Sony...

 

By comparison, apart from the first model with RROD, my Xboxes, 360s, and Xbox Ones have all worked like a charm.


Do not compare a console that had 10 percent (or less) hardware issues to one that became historically known as the console with the 60% failure rate. Your experience with the Playstation is your own, but in all its failure not the same. 10% failure rates are typical for technology. Microsoft rushed the 360 to beat Sony to the punch and risked a huge batch of  unsuable consoles.
