Reading through the entire article and all the comments, it seems that it doesn't matter whether the system was used in docked or portable mode, nor does playtime seem to be much of a factor. That makes it likely that the systems in question weren't perfectly straight out of the box to begin with.

Yes. Maybe they sat on it. I'm not trying to make the Switch look bad, I swear. But this could be the begining of a huge problem, or not. The 360 didn't started dying until a few months had passed. Still, did you looked at your switch?

Just huge difference is in fact that Switch doesn't have any heat issues while Xbox360 had huge heat issues (if I recall OG Xbox hadtemperatures over 80C), we had Eurogamer runed tests and we around 50c max for Switch and that is perfectly fine.

Switch has active cooling in and out of the dock and at it's highest recorded temperatures is 49 C. 

And what were the Ambient temps? I am sure you understand the laws of Thermodynamics right? 

If you throw the switch into a 50'C summer Australian day... You can bet your ass it will be running at temps higher than 49'C.  You could be looking at 70-80'C.

Of Course they are ambient temperatures, not Russian winter day or "Australian summer day", and max temperature of around 50C for ambient temperature is perfectly fine.
