      There’s always a percentage of devices that will show defects, especially the launch wave. QA can never get 100% of units passed.

      Does anyone remember the PS5 issues with the disc drive, rest mode, coil whine etc during launch?

      Now if this turns into a pattern / widespread issue I’m ready to jump on the bandwagon, but this is not out of the ordinary.

      E: typo

        Exactly. We’re hearing about the edge cases so far, which there will ALWAYS be some for any product.

        Not defending Nintendo here. I’d love to be playing the new Mario Kart, but not at those prices.

          The new Mario kart is the same as the old Mario kart. Just play 8 if you want to play Mario kart lol.

            For better or for worse, it’s actually quite different. Many people seem to actually prefer Mario Kart 8 lol

            That’s like telling me to not read sequels to books.

            Just because it shares mechanics and characters does not make it the same game.

              Huh? The person I responded to said they don’t have Mario kart world and don’t want to buy it for the price it’s being sold at. So i said play Mario kart 8 it’s the same game.

              So yes. If you don’t own a sequel to a book and it costs too much, then just read the first book.
