They appear pooped. Twitter is alive with angry owners.

I was about to switch the PS3 on and have a nose at PlayStation Plus. Wonder if the UK PSN is ok?

Just makes me all the more glad I delayed my purchase until the new year. I wonder if they do delay the UK launch? Would be a commercial nightmare for them if they did!

Apparently they all suffer from wobble too. Some kind of design defect. Christ its makingme worried about my XO now.

 

[guddler]

Yeah, I've seen a video of the wobble. It's a non issue. Your PS4 wobbles when you press down on the left front corner?? Solution: Don't press down on the damn corner, stop fondling your new toy, leave it alone and just play the thing

Sigh, is it 2008 again? Overused meme is overused.

Still, the fail rates appear (at a glance) to be an issue. Will be interesting to see Sony's official response.

I wonder if Sony ever learnt from the lead free solder problems in the ps3's? somehow I doubt it and these are just the same, only the cpu's and graphic chips will no doubt get even hotter due to more cores in them!!

Sony has never learnt in the past when there are problems, they just keep churning out the same model after model and the problems continue on and on! look at Sony on/off switches in there tv's! did they ever improve then through the years of all the manufacturing.... nope!!

I don't think anyone has had near as bad a launch of defective hardware as the MS 360, and I expect next to no one still has a working launch window model.

Read these, a month before launch

I think most of the Xbox360 died not too long after launch... the PS4's are DOA

You don't think the new Xbox will be any different do you? Let's briefly put it in perspective - one million PS4s have been sold in North America alone. Not manufactured or shipped to warehouses - sold. The failure rate for complex electronics is in the 5% range allegedly (although it seems higher to me with batches of Lenovos we get at work) - so when more than 50,000 people have a broken machine, then there's something to talk about.

Social media is a nightmare with this kind of thing. You get 30 people complaining on one huge forum and suddenly the world is crashing down. Reality - nobody posts on a forum when their machine works. I've even seen some people claiming a 50% failure rate already...

Additionally, Xbox fanboys are out in force posting fake failure stories. The same will happen with PS fanboys to the Xbox in a week or so.
