Sony has responded to claims that a large majority of PS4s already shipped are faulty, stating that only 0.4% ofshipped PS4s have been affected.
“A handful of people have reported issues with their PlayStation 4 systems,” said Sony in an official statement to Polygon. “This is within our expectations for a new product introduction, and the vast majority of PS4 feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We are closely monitoring for additional reports, but we think these are isolated incidents and are on track for a great launch.”
Since getting pre-release consoles, Kotaku and IGN, amongst others, have reported issues with PS4 HDMI ports and video cards.
“The number of affected systems represents less than .4 percent of shipped units to date, which is within our expectations for a new product introduction,” Sony confirmed in their statement.
The PS4 will be available from 29 November in Australia and New Zealand.
