you also have to take the risk as ps4 or tamagotchi buyer. just because the 360 had such a huge problem doesn't mean that the chance is higher for xbox one as for ps4. you just have to look at the product photos to see that they did everything possible to cool it down. not to forget that it want produce so much heat as 360 did even without cooling. microsoft increased the warranty to 3 years for the 360 when they had those problems and i have still problems to understand why some people bought like 5 or more consoles. everything produced after mid 2009 or something like that was pretty much perfect in build quality. no clue how people managed to destroy so many consoles before this time without getting a free replacement/repair. so yes, 360 had huge problems but that has nothing to do with another product just because it's also from this company. |
Well Microsoft has a bad reputation with exceptionally high failure rates for the original 360. Sony doesn't. All their consoles failure rates have been within industry standards.

Just because something LOOKS like it will function properly and because Microsoft SAYS it will work fine, doesn't mean it will. Ex-employees have come out and admitted that Microsoft knew about the failure rate before launch. They didn't care, they had to be first. They downplayed the reports of failure rates until they were so common that they really had no choice but to admit they released a faulty product. So yes, it has everything to do with Xbox One as Microsoft has shown that for the sake of being competitive, they will continue as planned.
Just to be clear here, common sense tells me that Microsoft will avoid any type of RROD scenario with Xbox one. Although the common BSOD reports on my Windows 8 laptop are alarming.
