Can anyone explain what "yield issues" means?

Problems in the production... one of the means of yield is the "mold"... so when they say this is like after assembling or fabricating a part it doesn't pass the tests or standards.


Ι still don't understand why it is such a big deal.


You and me both. Maybe they want it to be wrong to discredit CBOAT further who is pretty much an enemy to some Xbox fans.

Components were being shipped may/early june and since the ps4 didn't suffer any last minute adjustments you can bank on it that units were being put together in june. I'm not saying in the same production pace as september oktober but they were.

So its more of a believe than a certainty... since Sony anounced in february them they must have started before june...

I think they were probably making prototypes for production since january and may had the final look around march... maybe they even started production before may, but more like small units to figure early problems and better develop the production process...

Just to be clear, I do believe Sony started the production before MS (and I believe its related to yielding)... but I also believe that Sony or MS could produce more if they just decided to spend more money, so we can't rule out yield issue for none of them because as far as we know they could have a initial production a lot bigger if they wanted and/or didn't have problems.. It sure is a complicated calculation that they adjusted by the Pre-orders and forecasted profit. They are really huge companies that wouldn't mistake their production by a lot... and I'm almost sure that Ninty could have produced more Wii if they wanted during the boom, but choose to be always a little "behind schedule" and profit more on each unit and buzzword.

part one of your post, is pretty funny but doesn't counter my statement at all

@bolded i agree

BUT Yielding issue isn't the same as scaling up production issues

The thing is I wasn't trying to disprove you... just to see if you had information that I'm not aware, because we have just guesswork about when production started and if there is any issues at all (i believe MS had some because they held production, maybe just to upgrade the box, but maybe some issues as welll)... and I agree the Yield isn't as big as stoping the lines, but maybe caused and impact in the production.

we all know why you are asking for this, its because recently cboat has been leaking bad leaks about microsoft. so no it shouldnt be. unless you provide data that proves that there where in fact no yeild issues then you have no legs to stand on with requesting that users should be banned for quoting a leaker who is most of the time right.  you always claim to be a man of "facts", care to provide any fact that proves there was no yield issues at all? spare me the 1 Million in 24 hour number, it did those numbers we get it, however it doesnt disprove the yield issue claims. 

No.

They should be moderated for spouting unproven bullshit. When there is undeniable proof of yield issues, sure, spread the news. Until then though its simply spreading FUD and it should be acted against. There has been no proof at all of these yield issues and until there is proof it should be treated as it is, a rumour. Nothing more.


You, my good man! Can you tell what's wrong with posting unproven, yet not negative rumours? Why should one be moderated for it? Has anyone posting 100% proven facts in this forum or any other?

We usually don't see this person there dissmissing the rumours of PS4 breaking A LOT. I love people that use gramsci way of accussing others of doing what you do.


I really didn't understand the last sentence. If the above person accuses others of doing what he himself does, then he can be described as hypocrite. If he doesn't, I still find his reaction a bit... too much. Demanding moderation for posting non-negative, non-positive rumours that do not hurt anyone is overreacting. Unless of course the rules forbid such posting.

Fanboys are never reasonable... gramsci is communist ideologist (which aren't reasonable as well)... No mod will take instance about starting a thread of rumours (maybe if the person just create his own rumour and its flamebaiting)... and people nowadays are really sensible and overreacting... some weeks ago there were a lot of threads about how bully the PS fans were toward MS, its always the victimism posture (that communist love to use as well).


After all this talk and the demands for blood to be drawn, I forgot what this thread is about. It's about MS reaching million consoles. There are dozens of things to be said here. Many things that wouldn't hurt either "side". I, for one, wonder where all these gamers came from? Have the total numbers been increased, or has a great thirst for new hardware come upon people? This is a launch to be written with golden pages in history. 

Seeing how much the original Xbox sold in US and how much PS3 sold even when it was 600, and how many N64 and GCs Ninty sold... I think its reasonable to say that unless something catastrophic happen no one would sell less than 25M ever... and by the huge fanbase they have if any of then could produce 3M for launch and have a reasonable price they could sell out.

"Enemy" is a strong word. But let us put it aside. There should not be feelings of enmity between game players.

If that is the case, then these people chose a completely wrong way of doing it. It's not an offensive rumour anyway.



This, I stole from grandpa...It's called soap.

just dont bother dude. let people live in a world full of delusions. i am still waiting for any factual prove that there was not a yield issue at any time. 

Instead of waiting for "factual prove" that there was yield issues? And youre talking about delusion?

Youre incredible.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5830285

 

when did i ever treat the yeild issues as anything but a rumor? or when did i ever say they were anything but? and since when were rumors a bannable offense on this site? im not the one who brought up the yield issues, im not the one who brought up cboat and im not the one who brought up banning users for discussing rumors.  did i claim Cboat was always 100% correct? no. however he has been correct many times before. the most recent example the resulotion gate issue. 

here is my original and first reply in this thread, now tell me who is spreading FuD? fact of the matter is Kowen suggested everybody who quotes Cboat to be banned just because cboat has been saying negative stuff towards MS lately. which is beyond ridiculous. if users start spreading FuD sure ban them, but there is no logical reason to be ban a person for informing others of a rumor, if you dont want to believe it, go ahead, if you do, its your choice. but you have no right to censorship what people can talk about here just because you or a few other uses dont like it. and dont go claiming other users spread FuD when it kowen who brought up cboat and the yield issues in the first place. 

oh and i know im incredible, i been told so many times before. 


The thing about CBOAT that is funny is that his track record is better than MS top executives... with all the 180° how many times have they been right??? So we can choose to believe CBOAT more than any MS employee???? Because DRM, less powerfull, bugs and whatsoever he have said first, MS have dennied and it happened... so we should ban people that quote Albert Penello, Major Nelson or Phill Spencer? Still waiting for the truth to come out.

I believe CBOAT isn't a gamer per see, more like an insider... Do you think MS or Sony top execs are gamer??? Just a few of them really are (like Shu).

Its spreading FUD and trying to make it sound like fact. Its misinformation. Talking about the rumours isnt a problem, but trying to make other people believe that the issues are real, when there is no proof for it, is simply spreading FUD. Going on about it over and over and over again especially without any kind of substantial proof just makes it look like the user in question is antagonising people.

Again, there is nothing wrong with posting rumours. Just dont try to spread misinformation.


The sources are usually listed by the writer. If you don't trust the sources then don't believe the rumor. I'm personally interested in what guys like famousmortimer and cboat etc are saying. I don't necessarily believe them, but I'm still interested in what they say. Moderating guys who post negative rumors would suck.

Still sad that neither Sony or MS are quoting who has done their sales tracking for them....


Nobody. Internal estimates based on shipments and assumed sell through.

I was not referring to them. I was referring to Xbox fans (hopefully gamers) that consider Cboat an enemy.
