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... 

Uh huh

Like I said... It was 40% this morning:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/11/16/social-media-making-it-hard-to-gauge-scope-of-ps4s-technical-difficulties/

"Amazon, for example, has about 600 reviews of the PlayStation 4 launch edition up right now. The console is sitting at about 3 out of 5 stars, not due to middling scores, but because of 320 five star reviews and 260 one star reviews. Nearly all of the one star reviews are complaining about faulty hardware. Does that mean that the PS4 has a 40% failure rate? Of course not. "

Shouldn't there be a poll for this type of thing?


That would mean everyone gets a vote... yeah, good suggestion ;p

I actually went through this thread, and as of this post only 2 people (in this thread) have reported dead consoles (1 if Rol wasn't being serious). So, out of roughly 40-50 users (for those reporting of friends) then the failure rate is an estimated (w/ error) 3.33% which falls in line with Sony's reported 0.4% failure rate (Huge discrepancy between estimated and reported but acceptable with proper error analysis).

Also, don't add a poll as it opens a window for trolls. False input is a better doubt than anonymous input.
