wtf? no it isn't a red flag, this is going to happen, the odds of everyone that has a failure where none of them know each other and none happen close together would be astronomical. if this was happening to a LOT of people that would be a red flag.

Hold your horses, Buddy Boy.  My OP states "X owners." So I originally thought this was in reference to the Xbox One X specifically.  When I realized my mistake shortly afterwards, I just left the issue alone since it wasn't what the OP meant.  But what the OP presented is still a legit issue, but not as serious.  It's been four years since the launch of the Xbox One so hardware failures are bound to happen.  Also, the OP personally knew two who has issues at right about the same time.  Not a coincident, and something of a potential concern.  And these guys aren't the only two experiencing issues.

you need to put the numbers into perspective. a 3% failure rate is still around 1 million failed devices so no there is not a legit issue here (except for those that are unfortunate enough to be in the standard failure rate).
