Sony thinks it’s solved the PS4 ‘blue light of death’ mystery

The mystery surrounding the PlayStation 4′s enigmatic “blue light of death” may have been solved. Per Bloomberg, Sony this week said that some PlayStation 4 consoles may have been damaged during shipping, which explains why a small number of them have been turning off automatically or not displaying any images or sound despite showing a blue light that indicates the console has been turned on. Sony spokesperson Satoshi Nakajima told Bloomberg that “there have been several issues reported, which leads us to believe there isn’t a singular problem that could impact a broader percentage of PS4 units,” which means Sony is sticking with its story that only 1% of PS4 consoles are affected by the reported problems.
