This morning, Sony officially decreed recent net.rumors of high failure rates among 40GB PlayStation 3s to be hokum, bunk and poppycock.
The multinational electronics firm said in a statement: "The 40GB PS3 has encountered the same industry leading, very low failure rates, comparable to the low level failure rates of the 60GB PS3."
“We are very proud of the quality and reliability of PLAYSTATION 3 and are disappointed that such extremely sloppy journalism has resulted in this totally inaccurate story,†said David Reeves, President, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. “Since launching the 40GB PS3, we have experienced a fantastic jump in sales and the failure rates have remained at the very low level that we not only strive for, but have been achieving since the launch of PS3.â€
Hear that, inaccurate, sloppy journalists? Sony is disappointed in you.
For the record, TheFeed didn't report on the rumors because, although we are sloppy as a mug, we were like, "Facts, pls?"
