Sony Playstation 3 40GB Has 40% Failure Rate

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe have denied rumours of a 40% failure rate on their newly released 40GB Playstation 3. A Dutch website has claimed the console has a high failure rate, these claims are categorically denied by the SCEE.

The 40GB PS3 was launched in October and since then has encountered very low failure rates comparable to the low failure rates to the 60GB PS3.

President of Sony Computer Entertainment has commented,

“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. 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.”
