Mikami attacks Sony and Square

[Living-In-Clip]

I think that is what he is saying and in my opinion that is the most naive viewpoint. You are trying to tell me that all these people had problems with the Psone - simply because they didn\'t know how to treat it? Even though a lot of people, like myself own upwards of 20 systems and never had one break down . That seems like a very far-fetched opinion.

If it was just a couple complaints, I\'d agree, but when the problem is so well know that the media has caught onto it and message boards are often flooded with threads on PS2 disc read errors, PS2 freezing and other things - I think it is more than evident that Sony has a quality issue when it comes to manufactoring their consoles.

User error is common, but it is by no means the sole reason for the many complaints about both of Sony\'s systems.

No, I never said that. I do know though this subject is very overhyped and is not as bad as a lot make it to be. Quality issues? Sure, because some 100 people (who visit forums) have problems... :rolleyes:

You do get outside do you?! Because, messageboards != the world. Those people who do complain could be kids for the most part - and I doubt you know each one of them to know for sure how well they treat their equipment.

BTW; I\'ve owned enough myself, ranging from low-end to high-end equipment in all categories. I speak from experience aswell and IMO, this issue is very overhyped. Besides, for the cases where the user is not at fault, you have a warranty that takes care of it. Saying that Sony especially has quality issues is laughable.

All consoles have their problems. Remember there are 33+ million PS2s sold worldwide.

Im hearing people who have problems with their Xboxes (Disc Read Error or HardDrive problems, some even have a display problem) and people who have problems with their GameCubes.

Ive been extremely careful with my PS2 and its still kickin\'.. No disc read errors what-so-ever *knock on wood*

Btw.. about people not treating their systems right..
Well I dont think anyone can top this stupid mofo

He let his cat sleep on the PS2.. haha

Some good advice.. KEEP YOUR PS2 CLEAN. Clean the fan on the back and the vents regularly.. dust-on-lens=pain in buttox

Only time ive seen a PS2 not read any discs is after someone drops it or for some stupid ass reason someone hits it really hard.  My cousin had his ps2 on launch day and has no problems with it and plays it like mad.  He is also a neat freak so yeah its in still mint condition.  
Mine still is in mint condition to.  So i dunno sure there are defuncts but i dont think that is the only reason Sony\'s PS2 is selling well.
