And mine 0 times and i bought mine in 2007 or 2008... i really cant remember but none the less. It doesnt happen to every console but if it didnt happen to your cousins would he know what it was do you think?

yep, sounds a bit subtle to me.

OT: Nintendo got nothing to worry about. They got some awesome games coming soon.

Actually I read somewhere that 50% of Xbox 360 sales this holiday season were from the Kinect bundle.

That's because the Xbox 360 S failure rate is pretty low. Now, if we're talking about older models...then I can assure you anybody would know of it. RROD is by no means just an industry term.

Please ask this when Nintendo happens to be trailing Microsoft saleswise worldwide.  They still are on top with the Wii.  This is like asking in a race where you lead, still maintain a lead, and widen it, but a competitor happens to be running faster, and you ask what they have to do, and imply they are DOOMED.  No matter how you spin or troll this, Nintendo is still leading.

Similarly to digital distribution, disc based gamins is not going away soon (not in at least 30 years or so when full-speed internet is viable for everybody) controllers will NEVER EVER get away from gaming. There might be more controllerless games, but that doesn't mean they will be the only to exist.

Maybe it is just my experience, I work in an electronics store that sells game consoles laptops gps etc. Anyway if a customer brings one in and i see the red lights I said RROD or red rings of death, about 1/10 people know what I am talking about. Maybe it is just the parents that i see i dont know, but the term at least where I work is not that common. 

People keep saying that Kinect is doing well and not providing any links that prove so. All I know is Nintendo isn't in any danger just because Microsoft sold a couple million Kinects over Christmas.

The rest of it Kinect is the definite future it possibly is, as there was no timeline given he could be right, but in the near future people will have to use Controllers for some games and in the aspect of Kinect there are a wide range of games that work better w/o controller.
