I think it's fair to say our concerns that the system looked to be rushed to market have been proven to be more accurate than not. The way that NOA and the other divisions are fielding questions and concerns, and just the simple break down videos points to a system with a very short (rushed) dev cycle. The implosion of the Wii-U must have spooked NOJ management more than they are willing to admit.

WHY does it scratch in its own dock in the first place? QA dept asleep? Rushed to market without field-testing?...

It's not necessarily a widespread problem. It might have been
someone with a bad dock. As far as I know, the issue has only been
reported by one person...
I totally understand that all major consoles have issues on launch, and a measure of the credibility and professionalism of the developers is how they handle the calls for support and the refund/repair. Any company worth its salt will offer a professional repair program, and not try and ignore the customers calls for support 😉 .
We have to remember that the Xbone went through a horrendous repair and failure period after launch, and some issues were never properly resolved until some time onwards (and after they dropped Kinect II)! Let's see how much these teething issues multiply with the next game release and if they can impact the avalanche of interest in this console?

The Xbox 360 might have been a better example to cite in this instance. The RRoD fiasco is possibly one of gaming's most well known console launch misdemeanors of all time. 😄
I remember having to open them up, grab some pennies, wrap them in tape and then place on the chips with some thermal paste. I did this for quite a few consoles and it worked.
