Ouch. Seems like we'll get more bad hardware from M$.

Oh god i certainly hope not, next gen i really want to pick up the Xbox first then the PlayStation (judging by how this gen went). But if there are any signs of failure i'll most likely wait a year before purchasing it.

Good, that means more time for me to play Halo 4.

Good thing.

Old.

And that synopsis article is sh*t. The issue is yield levels in semiconductor manufacture.

Microsoft actually delaying their system? I'm shocked!

So I guess that means itll come out in 2015 instead of 2014

Whilst we're talking about next gen here can i ask what that "Ouya" thing is meant to be? Is that the codename for the next PS4 or an actual next gen console coming from a company?

Wow, at least it's BEFORE launch....

Yeah there were reports about this a few months back too with other processor related problems. But at least they're taking the time to fix it and not relaese dodgy hardware like the 360

Next gen RROD is so advanced it breaks even before release.kuraimen

I'm sure the PS4 is having problems too, we just don't hear about them. To think some next gen console isn't breaking before launch is naive, all prototypes fail before release.

poor lemmings.

i knew it -2014 /15 for next gen those who thought i was wrong , slap your selfs

Article Title - Xbox 720 release delayed due poor processor quality.

Start of 3rd paragraph in article - This COULD mean delays in the Xbox 720 launch :roll:

So...we're getting RROD version 2...because Microsoft decided to delay the console because of manufacturing defects instead of shipping it anyway? :?

I'm guessing basic logic and reasoning escapes you people...

Was this a rumor from back in September? By a site called SemiAccurate?navyguy21

Yes. This is really old.

Always good to hear good news about the Nextbox. MS is learning from their mistakes.

The Nextbox will be unstoppable :cool:

Old.

This.

Hey give them some credit, at least they're delaying it this time so it's not an epic fail launch like the 360 was, in terms of hardware quality and reliability that is.

AMD Kaveri APU delayed until 2014 http://semiaccurate.com/2012/11/06/amds-kaveri-apu-slips-again-2014-now/

RROD and this processor quality issue arent really related

this is a good thing.

ITT: People who don't know what they are talking about.clyde46

They seldom do around here...

in this thread, people that dont know anything about the manufacturing of processors.

a CPU that doesnt meet QA never leaves the factory. the issue is the CPU might cost too much to manufacture... they arent gonna put bad CPUs in the console.

This is bad?

:x

my god such moron charlie sheen's...ITS SEMICONDUCTOR yield....rememer when the ps3 was first in production and they not only had issues with blu laser diodes but also with yields on the cell chip? it was something like only a 30% return on silicon usage they would manufacture all these cell chips and only 30% were functional....

thtats right exact same thing this happens all the time in semiconductor and silicon manufacture when you create a new chip you have to figure out the process it takes time to get yields up thankfully silicon is almost infinitely recyclable.

That's Microsoft hardware department for you! The Xbox 360 is still of poor quality.

You learn from your mistakes it's all trial and error. I'm almost positive the PS4 will go through some complications before release too.
