There have been many explanations of the cause of Microsofts 360 failing hardware. Here's another one: http://www.8bitjoystick.com/archives/jake_inside_source_reveal_the_truth_about_xbox_360_red_ring_of_death_failures.php
Like every article with sources claiming to be involved with the development of MS's console this one also has some things to say that are really questionable. However, there are some parts that have a plausible background and what this guy says might actually have something, if not all to do with the reason of so many 360's overheating.
Funny how he refers to talking about adding motion controls to the 360. I remember talking to a developer (which will stay anonymous) on Gamershell which we had on to talk about starforce (malicious copy protection for the pc) on games, and we talked about the possibility of RTS on console. We also suggested some type of pointing device back then to quickly select units. It's in the forums right now which are currently down for maintanace, sigh. http://forums.gamershell.com/
