Foxconn intern claims PS4 was sabotaged during manufacturing
The allegations first appeared on the IGN forums, which was locked shortly after. The author then tried to elaborate Below is a snapshot of the actual post
The intern noted that because Foxconn didn’t treat them well, they didn’t treat the PS4 well. Stating: “The ps4 console we assemble can be turned on at best.” which may explain the pulsing blue light issues that many people have experienced, mainly on Amazon shipments where about 33% of the total verified reviewers have reported the issue.
Although these claims cannot be verified, it's no secret that Foxconn has been in the news frequently for their alleged mistreatment of workers, and possibly comes as no surprise that this sort of retaliation is an easy thing for workers to carry out on the Day One release of the console.
In any case, we'll be keeping an eye out for any sort of verification on these claims as Sony investigates the issue themselves.

TKC_WeLsHy_12 Well F*ck .... What Happens Now ?
If it turns out to be a Foxconn issue then Foxconn will most likely have to pick up the bill for that.

This may hurt china as a whole because more companies will start looking elsewhere to manufacture their products. I feel sorry for Sony then again they should have been more adamant to the treatment of the people at foxconn. "Made in China" is now going to be more of a joke for many people but in reality the poor working conditions for people should make companies penalize Foxconn.

Ok so lets get this straight:
'The intern noted that because Foxconn didnt treat them well, they didnt treat the PS4 well.'
Niether the workers nor the company; Foxcon, reported each other for either wrong doing?
So the foxcon staff just watched as the workers pieced together the console wrongly?
I wasn't to surprised after seeing the country which this happened in to be honest.
