Sony has confirmed that the PS4 failure rate has jumped
from .4% up to 1%. And the countdown to people freaking out over my accurate but intentionally misleading headline in 3...2....1.
With less than 1 percent of shipped systems affected
by these problems (up from 0.4 percent in a previous claim), the number
of broken systems is reportedly within the "expected range" for a
product launch. While we're certainly used to new devices that ship with
a few bugs in tow, that figure still leaves a lot of unhappy gamers --
one percent of the million-plus PS4 buyers would still equate to 10,000
people. Sony says it's working to get these systems replaced; let's hope
it moves quickly.
