No sooner has Microsoft’s Xbox One been unleashed on the handful of territories worthy of its power than it has been subject to a variety of horrible technical issues, although whether they are any more widespread than those afflicting the PS4 is another matter.
Complaints about a “disc-read error” and a supposed system update failure capable of bricking the console have surfaced – though just how common these are in relation to the number of consoles shipped is completely unknown (and doubtless likely to remain so, given Microsoft’s PR lessons):

And this surprised no one.
U serious? Look at all the butthurt fanboys around the world, on both sides I might add... Now they're just finding solace in the fact that their "enemies" also suffer.
Okay, I'll correct him.
Only the idiots were surprised.
*meanwhile on wii u*...... This new mario is the shit
Mah nigga.
actually it surprised all the PS4 bashers, that didn't realize that everything is shit at release.
Surely, XBOX Fanboys are now hiding their faces,LOL
Everybody who has ever disassembled an optical disc drive knows they are full of moving parts made of plastic, so it's hardly surprising they break easily. What's surprising, though, is that these consoles apparently don't get tested before they are packed into the cardboard boxes and shipped to the stores. I mean, there's no way a broken optical drive would pass any quality assurance test, no matter how superficial. Given the extreme cost optimization and production numbers I'd understand a bit more complicated flaws, though.
Testing every single one is costly. Sample testing from manufactured batch is more efficient.
Maybe they didn't sample test at all. Remember they are Made in China. Quality Check is non existent over there and it's a miracle in itself they haven't exploded yet!
Not just that they were made in China, they were made in extreme hurry! Double fault there.
They test every single HDD, so why not every single xbox?
They do. However, not everything can be tested, and many more consoles break during transportation.
my god you're dumb. please do not breed. ever.
I think just replacing the broken ones when someone files a complaint is cheaper than testing every single one. Money >>>>>>>>>> consumer
this is a closed beta test period for X-Box One and PS4, so of course there's some problem with it. isn't thats the reason why u get it earlier than the other, to find the error so the rest of other player can play it error-free?
oh well, im a PC user myself, who am i to complain...
They got Xboned...
The Xbox One is literally boning the disc.
So that makes us three for three on this generation's consoles having crippling launch defects, huh?
Wii U was not a launch defect...They just don't sell well. Please define what defect is.
Everyone knows Wii U is not a real console.
when the wii u was launched and had to do the day one patch, it was reported it could brick your system instead of updating it.
If the user is stupid enough to turn it off when it is updating so be it.
Yes but it would perform the update in the background even if you told it to update later. So it would start updating without you knowing, and then when people turned it off it would brick. So that's 100% Nintendo's fault for putting it as "Download Later" and not "Background Download".
Oops, my bad.
They wouldn't even know it was updating. The "Download later" option cancelled any kind of notification the system would give otherwise.
I suppose it's not entirely fair to compare against current-gen consoles with disc drives and a ton of other parts and features, but... my and my brother's SNES worked perfectly back on Thanksgiving 1991, and with virtually no faults for at least 10 years after that. It'd probably still work today if I could dig it out, though I currently use a 2nd-version SNES that I bought in 1999 when I went to college.
I still have a SNES that's 18 years old right now and works like a charm.
Hell, even my NES works (not as well, but it works) after replacing ONE single piece...
I'll wait for a few months before getting the PS4, thank you very much.
Yep, but back then the jap users had tested your SNES. Remember how much time passed since jap/western releases?
Product quality is inversely proportional to consumer responsibility. Sony and Microsoft have incentive to make your hardware last exactly as long as your warranty. It's funny how corporations feared public outrage so much more in the age before the Internet.
They have no trouble in making us aware of the next version, and if they get 5% unsatisfied customers, who cares! It wasn't thet easy when they relied more on world of mouth.
It's almost as if it's a launch or something.
The fact that people can now equate "launch" with "horrible console-bricking errors" is the entire problem.
Both ps4 and xbox1 have issues so good thing i didn't waste my money.. ill stick to my PC
i agree with you lol lucky i have a Core i7 Gaming PC
that can play game's in 4k when my new moniter comes threw)
Ah...the PC master race...stupider by the upgrade.....
PC master race wins yet again! We are so good and cool! Proud to be part of PC master race!
And please down vote this comment. Would make me so happy!
Your reverse psychology won't work on me!
Oh noes! And I though I was being clever!
Anonymous used blue screen of death!
It's super effective!
"PC master race" fainted!
Master race?
Saiyans = master race
PC gamers = delusional
You mean to say your PC never have issues?
Not that guy, but when a pc fuck up, 90% of the time it's the user/builder fault, and likewise 90% of the time you can fix it by yourself with a few online tutorial, which is a step up from being at the mercy of a multinational company who's more interested in keeping it's fuck up secret than providing adequate customer support.
^this
Build the pc yourself as well and youll be able to troubleshoot any problems without any trouble
Significantly fewer issues than consoles, yes.
and a whole lot easier to fix
You mean user fixable at all.
I put together a dozen parts to build my PC, all from different manufacturers and none of them designed to ONLY be compatible with each other, yet my gaming rig works perfectly; Sony and Microsoft need to stop making excuses.
see the thing is most people who are the PC race are around 50-80% Steam players and im pretty sure most of them will jump on the steam console when it comes out, so now you need to state if you are steam or actually pc player
you must have a vivid imagination -.-
I'd never touch a steam console
I'm a Steam player, and I will NEVER get a Steam console. Luckily they will be just Linux computers, so... no point in getting one either.
So... if I'm a PC gamer and wish to remain a PC gamer, I can no longer use Steam?
What am I supposed to do then? Pirate every game that comes out? You fucking elitists are ridiculous.
That Steam "console" is just a PC. A completely normal PC. It's like saying "Dell console".
I can't believe people still din't understand what a Steam Machine is.
Unfortunately, these problems can also be related to PC...
When I first built this PC, I had multiple problems, while things "worked" according to every tests I had done, it kept crashing after a while, nothing was overclocked, turns out the RAM was defective, even though memtest never caught it after over 90 hours of testing it.
Shit happens, many of these problems, like the disc drive eating up the disc could probably be attributed to when the consoles were shipped, due to low end materials used something inside broke easily during shipping and this happens...
You can easily fix a PC on your own though. A console you gotta send somewhere on warranty.
Besides, consoles are supposed to work error-free out of the box. For a long time.
That's the point of consoles.
You buy them because you're a casual and don't want to bother with the same problems you'd have on a PC. Such as viruses, hardware errors, software errors, all that stuff.
Console = boot up anytime, play games instantly. You should NEVER have to worry about your hardware breaking within the 1st week. That wasn't the case with any console ever until 360 came out and now it's only getting worse.
My PC currently has that same disc error. Thankfully I went digital years ago.
