Is it just me, or are people losing their cognitive abilities the longer the thread gets? XD


my post was called sarcasm sir. i was mimicking how the internets do things. i believe its not common that people utilize this type of comment though. sarcasm is rare.
 
Optical disc drive failures are pretty common really, mechanical parts are prone to failure
Examples:
- guy who bought the console dropped the box/console accidentally but won't admit it so that he gets warranty
- shocks during transport or at retailer storage
- anything that involves a shock

It's really common, now to see if it's more than just a couple of youtube videos...


I have to disagree. This stuff should be tested and fixed before the console is even put up for sale. And how do these consoles pass Quality Control without initial testing to make sure they function properly. Leave it up to Microsoft and allow a product to go to market with bugs and hardware failures.

Because during Quality Control the consoles are "checked" only by observing them and going through a few randomly-selected units rather than putting them together and then disassembling them just to see if everything went right the first time around.

The magic of machine-based manufacture is that if one unit that went off Line A was manufactured correctly then chances are that each and every unit that came off it is exactly the same unless there were some flaws in the material and/or components used.
 
Launch consoles have launch console issues, more news at eleven.

Seriously you're always bound to have failures and defects, testing it internally can only do so much, nothing will prepare you for distributing a console on a large scale and seeing the failures except for doing exactly that.

But this is Microsoft; gamers are already mad at them for something they did and now, they can add another reason to their "Why you should hate Microsoft" list. It's called being overly critical; Microsoft can't even get a launch done right. Even though Sony might've had some issues, at least their ratio of consoles sold was better: 2 vs. 13 countries. (I'm getting tired of saying this.)
 
Precisely. I am not saying Nintendo won't have their products quality go down over the years. I'm building an argument around the systems I have now. I have no idea how future equipments will do in the quality/sturdiness department.

Was I lucky? I doubt that. If anything, it was quite the opposite since I was a kid when I used those Nintendo systems. I only got my PS1 when I was like 10. Yet, My NES, GameBoy Pocket and Game Boy Advance, took years of mistreatment, being dropped to the ground, scratches, and slamming. And they still live.

Meanwhile both my Xbox and Xbox 360's hardware went on vacation after 2 years each. I have had 4 PSP's due to similar reasons. And so on.


lol, i had a Gamecube without its housing and during the 2/27 earthquake a 30'' CRT dropped on it. The TV broke and short circuited, the disc that was on the GC got destroyed. The GC still works perfectly XD
 
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".

I'll show you why you're stupid with your "real data".

Of the two PS3's that I've owned, both of them had laser failures, preventing them from reading discs. That means 100% of PS3's have laser failures.
Of the two Xbox 360's I've owned, neither of them have had a single problem. That means 100% of Xbox 360's don't have failure rates.

OF ALL THE SEA LIONS I'VE SEEN (1), THEY ALL COULD UNDERSTAND HUMAN COMMUNICATION AND DO BACKFLIPS N SHIT FOR FISH.

That doesn't tell you that both the PS3's I bought were pre-owned from smokers which apparently ruins the blu-ray lens, that I took meticulous care of my Xbox 360's to keep them in pristine condition, and that the only sea lion I've ever seen was trained in an aquarium.

SEE WHAT I'M SAYING ABOUT PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE? YOU ARE NOT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE, AND YOUR 'REAL DATA' DOES NOT EQUATE TO THE WHOLE WORLD. THAT'S SELF CENTRED, GUY.

See what I mean? :D

To be fair, Nintendo's main market is children, and so they children-proof them as much as possible. Secondly, as far as internal hardware failures, Nintendo would have to be pretty blunt to still use over decade-old technology with extensive testing incorrectly.

Nintendo stuff is made to last. I still have my original GameBoy with Pokemon Yellow and 6 Gold Coins.

Your data is just one person... my data is coming from the company that takes cares of the insurance for all the consoles last generation and was the data from the first two years of each console's release. If you are going to try and insult someone you really should work on actually using real data to back it up not from just your own experience.

You misunderstand what I'm saying. And you're a very poor liar.


"I have a PS1 that still works lol"

"Someone said that was low"

"I had a launch wii and know plenty of friends that did and never had that problem."

"I have a friend in college that has gone through 3 Xbox 360s since launch already."

"unless it is the Wii which I don't know anyone that had a problem day one"

So you see why I find it hard to believe when you say;

"I rather use real facts than "he say, she say"."

Wikipedia said:
In August 2009, warranty provider SquareTrade published console failure rate estimates, in which the proportion of its customers reporting a system failure in the first two years is 23.7% for Xbox 360, 10.0% for PlayStation 3, and 2.7% for Wii.

Those were remarks about my personal history I didn't use them as facts. The comment about failure rates comes from SquareTrade itself which was already posted but I will post it again since you like to pick and choice what to read. https://www.squaretrade.com/htm/pdf/SquareTrade_Xbox360_PS3_Wii_Reliability_0809.pdf
