And my opinion of him remains completely unchanged, don't worry, I'm well aware of his type.

Funny how you havent adressed a single point  he made, instead you throwing personal accusations, and at the same time, you have the audacity to accuse him of doing exactly what you are doing

How can be sad the console have low failure rate? C'mon guys.

Yes, exactly. Usually modern tech has problems in both categories. This "blue pulse of death'-problem sounds like something that can be solved by adjusted procedures in the assembly lines. Maybe it already is solved in the current production (but devices will take some time until they arrive). other problems will show up too, but all will be fine if the rate is acceptable low. Sucks for the people that get a faulty one though. Even if it is one in 100.000.

I already said, that number is for one specific problem in one specific batch of devices. It doesn't say much about mid-term or long-term failure-rate. But please go on and rant that I'm delusional and don't see any facts, although I simply talk about reality. and I already said, long-term failure-rate may well be lower. I think that specific problem may be solved in assembly lines pretty fast. If that is the dominating problem in the moment, that hints the system might have a design that is mostly forgiving for little problems in assembly.

You're wrong on this. OK, already delivered devices will not get a lower failure-rate, it will only increase. But new devices might have a lower rate, as problems in production are sorted out. So we really don't know at this point, the 0.4% number is fine, a data-point, but it doesn't say much standing alone. It is used for marketing reasons on Sonys side though (calm down worried potential customers), that is completely OK. But we can discuss this number as what it is: one first data point, that will be followed by many others. And at this point we don't really know what happens, the number may go up in the long term or it might go down. We will see.

To be fair, I would also be pissed if I was happy waiting for launch day and get a faulty device. But yes, the problem is blown out of proportion. Nothing unusual though, that happens all the time for all consoles since gamers use internet intensive.

Either you did not read at all or you didn't understand. So read again please.



Do you have a degree in Glassballism? From Hogwards or something?  I never said I am not going to buy the PS4 but when the first batch is shit well it is SHIT. You should try to deal with stuff like this instead of ignoring it.

Btw officials LIE. Example? COD Blops2 is FullHD on WiiU, Clinton never had sex with Monica.


And let me say it again. 
NOT everyone buying something automatically uses the rating system on sites like Amazon. 
So even if Amazon sold 100k PS4s (where does that number come from?) and 400 people complained about broken ones ......thinking that this means the failure rate is 0.04%  is as smart as thinking the world will implode because it gets heavier with every new human born. (For some people understanding that humans consume plants/animals to grow is hard)

And AGAIN    REPORTED =/= broken consoles.

Conclusion:
You should really play some chess from time to time.

I remember when MS tried to say they had a sub-10% defect rate on X360s (truth was >30% of initial versions)... point is you have to wait for launch to be done with to really see anything.

My lack of faith in anyone but Nintendo is why I only buy Nintendo day one. 6 generations of home consoles and always the lowest defect rate in a gen.

Probably the smartest thing.  Both Sony and Microsoft have had atrociously bad launches and hardware in he past.  PS2 and Xbox 360 were both terrible.
