*** The Official Playstation 4 (PS4) Thread ***

Tbf there will be one or two broken as I'm sure there was ps3,ps2 etc no product will have a 100% record even if new though I expect media to make it sound worse than it is

To be fair, if that happened on the Xbox One instead I guarantee some of the PS4 fanboys would be making fun of it. For me, I really couldn't care, I'll only touch the console to swap discs.

I don't like using the term fanboy but you're right. I think there would be a lot more controversy if the Xbox One did this.
 
Gees who are all these gits going to moan and troll to while most of us is playing our shinny new toys be it an xbox or ps4 or both!! :D
 
Yeah they would lol but its one of those silly things... Your not going to sit there touching your ps4 so its a none issue. There would be a lot of comments if it happened on the xbox because of the whole xbox is balanced thing lol.

Kotaku had a faulty unit also.

Aside from all this online stuff, there's one other awkward detail that I can't accurately assess at this moment. It's this: the first retail PS4 we got from Sony didn't work. Now, please, don't panic. It's impossible to tell how much of a fluke this was or whether this is the canary in a coal mine of pending PS4 hardware troubles.

Here are the facts: In the past week, my Kotaku colleagues and I have used one pre-release PS4 and three retail PS4s with no problems. I've also heard from fellow gaming reporters who've used their PS4s with no problems. But the first retail unit that Sony provided me failed to work when I plugged it into a TV in Kotaku's office. A colleague and I were able to compare it to a second PS4 that did work and we found that the issue was rather simple: the bad unit had a faulty HDMI jack that we couldn't fully plug an HDMI cable into. It couldn't make a solid connection and therefore, apparently, couldn't transmit a stable signal to our TV. We tried different cables and monitors. The issue was with the console.

Has any proof been shown on how the units are faulty?

on neogaf. No, went through 12 pages and the only pics are of the ps4 turned on and an AV unit screen saying no HDMI output.

Not even a pic of the two devices together.

I'm on the fence but I still smell bull
 
Theres going to be some faulty units, think if a millio consoles are sold at launch, even if the failure rate is 0.5% thats 5000 fauly consoles, and with the internet these days we will hear about it

Exactly, there will undoubtedly be broken consoles out there, and unfortunately for both MS and Sony, those who get them will make a lot more noise than those with working consoles.

The amount of underdog XboxONE fanboys there are out there, no doubt will be spreading bull.

Sony has been in the electronics business long enough to know how to make decent hardware.

Not concerned at all.

More concerned with Microsoft's inability to NOT make serious blunders in their design. Will the new XBOX One sound like a hoover? That'll be my concern.
