Comments on: Foxconn, and the Question of Hardware Failure Rates http://www.hsmagazine.net/2013/11/foxconn-and-the-question-of-hardware-failure-rates/ The PlayStation Home Magazine Fri, 13 Feb 2015 21:20:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.2 By: Phoenix http://www.hsmagazine.net/2013/11/foxconn-and-the-question-of-hardware-failure-rates/#comment-287622 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 12:36:55 +0000 http://www.hsmagazine.net/?p=57438#comment-287622 If anyone would care to read from the following site, you will find that Xbox One has been experiencing some of the same issues. This would seem to make the rumors and article confessions look a bit different. Seems to me the problems with both are just what keeps some ppl from buying the first launch systems in the first place, nothing more then expected bugs.

It was also stated that IGN created an article on how the PS4 has been having hardware issues in EU when the system--at the time--never released there yet. It was like I had to convince my good friend that the “news” she heard was incredibly false.

This is where my continuance of the Knowledge 101 adventure plays here: Failure rate.

Many will exaggerate the problems that they have with the Playstation 4 when there is a .14% deficit of defect systems. That’s under the percentile average of the defective systems that Sony are allowed to have.

That would mean that 50,000 PS4 systems HAVE to fail in order for Sony to be in trouble. Now of the 3-5 percent deficit, what percentage can anyone get out of a million units sold? :)

It’s an easy answer: a false statement and the plenty that will downgrade Sony for a system that will make history yet again since the PS2.

With that being said, even in the media people have been trying to exaggerate on how Sony “rushed” their system when this tactic was deployed by M$ last gen, and people had no qualms whatsoever about it only for Sony to release and to state that “they released too late in the game”.

I don’t expect any slow down on the sales this Christmas. The PS4 has been picking up steam on sales and the system is 50% more powerful than Xbone, along with a bigger library of launched games.

Even so, “bleh” to that post but great article Phoenix. 8D
