Xbox One also suffering some failures

[tbgtbg]

I like my original XBOX (if i can find the power/AV cords) I had no problems or heard of any flaws back in the day (btw am willing to do anything to softmod the bitch)

Yeah, that thing is a tank. I still use my launch window Xbox almost daily as a media player. Only time it ever gives me a problem is if the modchip comes loose (which, because it's solder free it does maybe once every two years). 5 mins to readjust it and back in business.

do you have mechassault?

no the only game i could find is Fable (original edition all my other cases are missing the disc and i do not have any of the exploitable games btw where is a good place (online I guess besides ebay) to get XBOX games?

At least this didn't happen to it:
I see hardware issues in that thing's future.

either a that guy has anger issues or b he's a microsoft or nintendo fanboy who the fuck would waste $400 and destroy the thing he bought?

Some failures are normal it is pretty much the whole reason for a warranty, so some unlucky bastard doesn't buy 3 of product X and be out money all 3 times. If everything worked perfectly every time you wouldn't need a warranty....

That being said if it exceeds "some failures" ala the RROD on the launch 360's (Some crazy high failure rate in the first 24 months from what I understand.) that's when people should keep a close eye on things.

I wouldn't worry too much about the Xbox One or the PS4 failure rates, I don't think any company wants a repeat of having to offer multi year warranties and 3-4 systems in a row to the same person. (how could you make money on that?)

Why would he? Because he gets hits on YouTube and can easily make the money back just by trolling nerds.

Like earlier people said (and me), mostly for entertainment issues or just being stupid. Or (I'll throw this out there) his girlfriend had just broken up with him and left the PS4 with him.

a fucktard if you ask me......unless the console is really flawed (IE cannot be fixed) or B the games SUCK E.T. for Atari -shutters- I like the console

 

[DaggerV]

They don't have any games.

 

[Foxi4]

All launches have a bad start out of the last two generations.... unless it is the Wii which I don't know anyone that had a problem day one

Naw, Wii's GPU's boiled themself as well.

 

[LegendAssassinF]

Naw, Wii's GPU's boiled themself as well.

The Wii had a failure rate of like 3% and that was mainly due to switching to dual layered games and anyone with a Wii that had that problem was replaced for free.

 

[DaggerV]

Chris, your sig, wtf?

 

[chrisrlink]

what was the PS3 (FAT) failure rate compaired to the slim's?

Fable+GTA=Fable 4 considering fable 3 was Industrial Revolution era in Albion I think this would be fitting

 

[Foxi4]

Still, the Blue Slot Light of Death is a real thing. Launch Wii's fried their own GPU's, it's well-documented but not really talked about.

That's pretty high, actually. Are you sure about that?

I had a launch wii and know plenty of friends that did and never had that problem. Mine still works today with no problems.

I think he means at the beginning, in which case it isn't that high, but still 3% is weird. I've never really heard of the problem myself to be honest. If anything, when the Wii launched, TV's had a failure rate of 95% :3

 

[Veho]

You mean, when Wiimotes (were) launched

 

[LegendAssassinF]

Yeah... SquareTrade reported that within the first two years the Xbox 360 had 24%, PS3 had 10%, and Wii had 3% failure rates. So almost 1 in 4 owners of an Xbox 360 had a problem within the first two years. I have a friend in college that has gone through 3 Xbox 360s since launch already. He brought when they did an "upgrade" and now he has the S

So does mine and so do some launch PS3's/360's, but "your own and your friend's" example is completely anecdotal evidence.

When you actually compare real data it doesn't lie so in other words Microsoft had the highest failure rates and Nintendo had the lowest. I rather use real facts than "he say, she say".

hearing this makes me laugh. I love how Microsoft sarcastically congratulated Sony's launch with some defective PS4 systems, now they're failing with the xbone.

Where's Sonys sarcastic congratulation message? Hmm, I don't see one.
Sony is the better company
