another reason for not buying any sony products ever again.

 

Yeah, because Sony's failure rate on electronics is soo high that passes the failure rate of the Xbox, Xbox 360, Windows Vista, Windows XP Normal & SP1, Windows 2000 Normal Windows ME, Windows 98 Normal, Windows 95 Normal & A, Internet Explorer 3 & UP, Zune, etc...

Do i have to bring the "hypnotized by Microsoft" argument again???

 

I forgot, Sony doesn't ever have failures in their systems. No sir, those PS1's and PS2's in their early years were nothing short of the finest engineering the game industry has ever seen.

And it's not like Sony's been dogged the last couple years by having to recall hundreds of thousands (if not over a million by now) of fun little explosive fire catching lap top batteries. Oh wait....

Lesson learned: Everyone fucks up and don't be a hypocrite Reeves.

 

Did i said in my post that Sony hasn't fucked up??? no sir, i said that they don't have the failure rate Microsoft has...

There's only 4 companies i trusted almost blindly with hardware quality: Nintendo, Panasonic, ASUS and Intel (they've never failed me)... I'm just saying that Microsoft has a worse record than Sony but people forgives Microsoft more, i don't wanna be here the day Ninty brings a console that has a big failure rate, that would be the apocalypse, but with Microsoft is like "4th RROD, i'm going to buy an Elite now"...

Does Microsoft have a worse record?

I mean they had the 360 which sucked...

the zune seemed fine.(to my knowledge.)  Xbox seemed... standard.

While Sony... every product they have seems to have a 2 year time bomb installed into it.

One seems like a mistake in trying to rush a product to market... while the other seems like some sort of orginzied plotof planned obsoleteness.

No company is without failure. It's usually how people take care of the thing they have bought. Most of the products I've own by any company have been fine and haven't failed due to hardware issues.

But I don't see how any one can compare whatever issues Sony had with the PS2 with the failure of 33% of M$ entire stock (with no doubt the possibility of 100% given the fact they were all made the same).

@The Anarchyz
I don't trust M$ whenever they release a new product. Everyone knows that you wait for updates and more stability. They seemingly did the same with Windows as they did with X-box 360, release it and fix the errors later.

@Kasz216
I have the personal belief that all electronics companies do that anyway else other then a new technology or extra function there would be no reason to buy a new whatever it is you need.



Hmm, pie.

The Playstation 1 & 2 grew the market. They were (initially) shoddy machines too.

Mrstickball i sure have missed you loll, but he is speaking facts the xbox 360 is an unreliable machines with many of its consumer having gone through 4 console as noted in the article. No need to bring the ps1/ps2 in to argument you should focus on the hardware of the ps3 which is rock solid!

I disagree... brands like Panasonic seem a lot more sturdy.

Even if they weren't it's a crappy policy.

Crappy policy, definately but nothing is break proof to start with.

A better percentage of non-failures to failures would be a good place to start though.

"quality hardware" is another way of saying, our consoles cost too much, and we're not intending on dropping the price any time soon.

You know what doesn't grow the market? Overly expensive hardware.

Let's be honest here -- Sony is just being small and petty.

So the PS2 failed during it's first 2 years????



4 ≈ One

Marty8370 on 21 December 2008

Point is any hardware problems that PS2 had early on, Sony fixed early on in it's life. Not like 360 RROD, MS has tried too fix RROD and failed on 3 attempts in the last 3 years. MS should have had a full recall very early on, as RROD has got out of hand now, 68% RROD failure rate is something MS will never live down. 360 is already in the history books as the most unreliable console ever.

History has shown that shoddy machines do, in fact, grow the market.

 

Well the Ipod wasnt all that realiable and look where it is now ;) I agree, shoddy machines can become popular ;)
