Forums - Gaming Discussion - Playstation 4 VGcharterz failure rate (updated: 2.5%-3.5% failure)

I didn't get a PS4 but I failed my exams, does that count?



Around the Network

I have 7 working flawlessly and none of my 58 friends have had any issues with theirs. Everything's great.



I'd like to add i know 5 Real life friends that got one and all theirs work like is should, also asked they guy at gamestop today if they had any returns or complaints and he said no. My managers kid works at bestbuy, i'll ask him tomorrow if bestbuy had any problems. Also i got mine from amazon.



It seems that this is an Amazon related incident but the issues do seem to be every growing as the day passes... Maybe it was only the launch editions? Not sure whats happening but if the issues continue to grow after a week... there is clearly a major flaw in Sony's part... If they don't fix it quickly, there will be lawsuits and people will stop buying the system...

But here is a list of pretty much all legit CRITICAL issues that have happened on the ps4 so far:

We should also keep a track of the reviews from Amazon:

The good and the bad reviews seem to go up

Right now, its about 34% (448 failed out of 1290 sold) failure rate (if the reviews are true) which is better than the 40% it was this morning... 

Edit: Since people seem to somehow misinterpret what I am saying... I am referring to the REVIEWED consoles, not the TOTAL SALES of the ps4s... I am sure Amazon has sold a ton more than the reviewed amount and I am also sure that many people don't review them...

=1 broken/ 23 total = 4.5% failure

if we only include personally owned PS4. 1 broken/ 18 total = 5.6% failure

Uh huh



my cousin bought one and it work fine until now.



2 people I know have them and they are not having any hardware problems, just a few kickouts in the games.



It is near the end of the end....
