I am not suggesting that the console was super dusty, but all electronics are dust magnets. I had a video card attached to my PC that after 2 years was running really sluggish on all the games that I played on it. It looked clean from the outside but behind the heatsink plate was a heatsink caked with dust. I think that is what happens to some 360's. I always blast my 360 with compressed air every few months, though it may be doing nothing.
One thing that makes this generation seem different (I may be wrong about this) is that the systems have both fans AND air holes, which can lead to terribly dusty enviroments. I used to do XBOX modding and repair(I did some ps2 repair/matinence) and they were pretty prestine in the inside. I havent seen a PS3 before but believe they have air holes and I know the 360 has like a million air holes, which may lead to premature failure, in addition to bad engineering.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
