There have been many reports of consoles with serious faults post-launch. Apparently "a lot" of consoles are having similar issues, but without hard numbers it's impossible to accurately gauge how severe the problem is. Hopefully a poll like this helps with that.
Understandably this poll only covers Resetera members and doesn't provide a truly accurate number of how many consoles are experience severe problems. Only Microsoft and Sony know that for sure.
I wanted to make a single poll to cover both consoles, but the forum won't allow me that many poll choices so I had to split it up for each console family.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Major issues means problems that require attention from either retailers or manufacturers, such as returns/replacements. I do not believe we have to count bugs that may be purely game software issues and are strictly isolated to certain games, or problems that can be solved by console OS updates.
Something like the Spiderman Miles Morales issue that seems to be a unique interaction with the console hardware that causes console-bricking should count as a major issue.
I've allowed the poll to be multiple choice, and for users to change their poll answers just in case their seemingly perfectly-fine console suddenly bricks down the road.
If a mod or someone else decides they want to make a more official thread and replace this one, they are free to do so.
