On German Amazon you have (right now ) 2 verified and 5 unverified doa's.
I think this is part of the game that has started and partly amazons fault.
They should implement 3 steps of reviews.
1) all reviewers
2) only verified reviewers
3)only verified purchased reviewers who have made more than 1 review in the time before the product is released.
(i mean those reviews by verified purchasers who bought an "enemy" consol to resell it for a profit and buy than their favourite system and downvote it on amazon)
the hippocricy in this thread from both sides is remarkable.
I guess the failure rate will be pretty similar and close to usual high tech failure rate
