Sony Responds to PS4 Hardware Issues

“There have been various issues reported to date, but the overall number of returns is extremely small.”

Sony has responded to reports of various issues with PlayStation 4 hardware. Speaking to IGN, a Sony representative provided the following statement:

“There have been several issues reported, which leads us to believe there isn’t a singular problem that could impact a broader percentage of PS4 units. We also understand that some units were reportedly damaged during shipping. The number of affected PS4 systems is less than 1%, which represents a very small percentage of total units shipped to date and is within the expected range for a new product introduction. We understand the frustration of consumers that have had a problem and are working with them and our retail partners to help troubleshoot issues and ensure affected units are exchanged.”....

interesting.  So less than 1% or around 10,000 ps4 are faulty units it seems.
