November 18, 2013 article writing At present, 593 of the 2126 reviews of Amazon PlayStation 4 are the lowest "★ one" in 5 grades.


"I think there are a lot of Sony Anti in the United States," and when I look at the reviews one by one, most of it is "Amazon Verified Purchase", That is,"People actually purchasing PlayStation at AmazonPost from.


However, regarding this,Forbes"If 90% of the buyers report a problem, only 9% of the people who did not suffer, we will see a lot of defect reports." In fact It is unknown how much trouble actually occurred to you.

furtherThe VergeAccording to a study of PS4 Amazon reviews, there are hundreds of people wearing one star, while when inquiring of multiple stores, there are no people returning. In the United States, since there are most people who return defective items and exchange them with new ones, it is obviously inconsistent that there is no inquiry at the store, and it is diverging from the reaction on the net.

Also, in Amazon's customer service, "A defect in the production process was found on PlayStation 4, Sony is currently investigating the defect, I heard that Sony sent instructions to your company (Amazon) to ship it "The customer service says," All what the customer heard is true, according to what I hear, it is said that SONY is stopping the production of PlayStation 4 "and replies The image that the image that is being put on is the circulation. However, in fact, Amazon's operators never respond with "named" in chat support, so it is said that it is "a stereotype image".


On the other hand, on Twitter, searching for "# PS4broken", "# brokenPS 4", etc. makes it possible to find many tweets complaining of trouble.


To this extraordinary situation, Shuhei Yoshida, SCE Worldwide Studio President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are currently investigating the defect of PS 4. However, the number of reported defects is very small compared to the number of PS 4 shipped," .


The biggest cause that is actually causing such a confusion state is the fact that Amazon accounts for the majority of Playstation 4's "★ one" reviewBlue Light Death PhenomenonIn the report on the matter, no matter what happens on the screen even if the switch is turned on, the light on the PlayStation 4 main unit flashes blue.


A lot of movies on PlayStation 4 that are said to have caused the blue light death phenomenon have been uploaded to YouTube and will be as follows.

On the TV is PlayStation 3's home screen.

As for "compatibility of television", it means that I received reports from users saying "It was solved by updating the firmware on the TV side".

For "PS4 power supply problem", switch off the PS 4 switch and remove the AC adapter cord from the insertion port. Next, please check whether the "A" "E" "F" part of the image below is damaged.


Switch off the PS 4 switch and slide the top cover of the part where the HDD is stored to remove "HDD problem".


Please check whether HDD is properly fixed or damaged.


It is recommended to start PS 4 in safe mode if no trouble is found in "PS4 power supply" and "HDD".

If IGN isReport received from SONY, We know that among the dispatched PlayStation 4, the initial malfunction was reported to be 0.4% of the total.
