What you can say is that 40% of those who decided to write an Amazon review had a failure, but you can't just assume that those with bricked consoles are just as likely to write up a review on amazon as ones that don't. Even if we assume every single 1 star review is totally accurate that would not mean a 40% failure rate by any stretch of the imagination.

Yep, I've bought 28 items from Amazon since June and many more before that (I love Amazon; I get to get stuff without having to leave the house) but I haven't once left a review for anything. I haven't gotten a product that I thought was a real dud either. So if people are similar to myself, and the product works as expected, they most likely won't worry with writing reviews.

picked two (2) up in two (2) best buy stores. they both work and have been running since launch.

All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

Skyrim 100%'d. Dark Souls 100%'d.

Wtf? You are making your results based off of how you feel and the feed back from this community? Ninja please, this has got to be a troll topic.

Just because you chose to quote a famous dead person does not mean that you are some type of intellect nor does it mean that the quote in question is correct.

I've been playing my ps4 for only a few hours honestly.. The only thing I experienced was the console shut off randomly while playing killzone.. It was completely off like no power, but I turned it back on like normal.
