Report: Xbox One can be powered for 10 years; software is almost done
Eurogamer's Digital Foundry team claims, via unnamed sources, that the Xbox One case was designed to be large in part because they wanted better heat dissipation. The story claims that the testing that has done in house indicates the console can not only run for a decade with power but in standby mode the console is almost silent.
By the way, the current estimate of the Xbox One's dimensions, based on using the size of its known components, are 34x26x8cm, (13.3x10.2x3.1 inches) according to the article.
The same report also claims that the software inside the console is getting close to completion. Microsoft hopes to cut down on load times for Xbox One games, which has been a sore point of Xbox 360 console owners. The Xbox One has been made to keep games in a suspended memory state while the console is in standby mode, which should allow for owners to start playing games quickly when the console goes into its full power mode.
Finally, the story claims that Microsoft will use its upcoming appearance at the Gamescom convention in Germany to show that the Xbox One is capable of starting up instantly from standby mode. Microsoft will hold a press conference on August 20th, the day before the convention opens.

I also hope this one, though doubtful, will release less heat and not get so hot, such as the 360 would. This really annoyed me after a while.

This is actually really appealing. I hated that the 360 was very easily over heated, it got very annoying after a while, especially with the older consoles.

Go back to your PS4 section...
it's true though. Not every newly released console is going to be perfect. There will be updates like the 360 did.

I reckon the console will last for 10 years but not an individuals console. New tech will come out so it will have to be updated.

It's probably true considering some lightbulbs can last 70 years lit the entire time

BeardedSHROOMSPipBoy997Ampz 10 years, that is absolutely amazing.
Don't believe everything you hear on the internet.... I highly doubt it can run for 10 years, I give it 4-5 year max before the thing is asking to be put down.
Based on...?
He has to give evidence to not believe everything you see on the internet? You must be new.
