I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

From a friend who cruises NeoGAF:

"Numerous reports of DOA units, disc grinding, broken disc drives, and grinding fans."

OH BOY.

Also Crimson Dragon dev sees your criticism and is working on it right now and has already patched some issues.

Edit:

I wish "Xbox, crush my enemies, drive them before me, and play the lamentations of their women." worked

Launch Xbones bricking left and right, even Microsoft doesn't have a fucking clue what to do.

L O fuckin' L at Microsoft trying to make it out as a "very small number" of failures, too. Said it before, I'll say it again, they haven't learnt a single fucking thing from Red Rings.

Microsoft, do yourselves a favour and just drop out of the hardware business before you go bankrupt from all the stupid.

Sony had a similar problem. Should they go out of business? It's embarrassing but saying that they should just shut down before they have a chance to fix it just smacks of fan boyishness.

I've been talking to some people in GameStop and BestBuy, and I've been hearing that the reports are relatively small in percentage, ranging between 1-2%. That's probably somewhere between 20-100,000 consoles. Pretty large number, but small in percentage.

According to the comments on that page, 30% of Amazon purchases have suffered from this.

Based off of 30% of the reviews, judging by those same comments. How many people who actually enjoy the product actually write a review? I don't, because I'm enjoying it too much to say something. o_O

I dunno, but it still sounds like a lot of people. On that note, it could be related to courier services and shipping and might not actually be an internal problem from Microsoft. Either way, it says a lot about shipping a product and having hardware malfunctions right out of the box.

One of the comments on that page brought up something interesting; could it be possible that, because the console was initially designed to be primarily a digital platform that the disc drive was thrown in later without much thought or maintenance put into it? Just food for thought.

EDIT: Oh, and if you need more to go on?

- Blank screens
- Missing pixels
- Spontaneous reboots
- Faulty fans
- Not powering on

Also, yes, I believe Sony should go out of the console business too, considering it has been stated multiple times that their engineers focus too much on bleeding edge hardware and shoving as much of it as possible into their console, regardless of how useless or unnecessary it is. These companies both produce and publish some quality games, but as console manufacturers, they've both done their fair share of damage control the past decade over things that should not need fixing if it was done right in the first place.

Even DRM-era Xbone still used disks by the time it was revealed, if for no other reason than as an installation source and a means of DRM validation. If such a thing was ever on the cards, even for Microsoft's liking they've had plenty of time to smooth things out on that front.

I don't think I agree with all non-Ninty consoles outright perishing, though. As much as I don't agree with some of their practices, their presence is necessary for the sake of competition, and an entertainment based monopoly always sucks irregardless of who holds it. Not that I would hold any objection to Microsoft fading from consoles if Valve could steal their place in a heartbeat.

Yeah, that's more what I meant; Nintendo needs competition, but it needs competition from platforms that are completely devoted to gaming. As it stands, both Microsoft and Sony are software and electronics companies, respectively, with very comparatively small gaming divisions that they could easily amputate if things got out of hand for them. If Valve took up arms and released a gaming platform to compete, then there'd most likely be two competent platforms out there that will be attempting to outdo each other within their own market, as opposed to shovelling tons of needless hardware down everyone's throats.
