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.

False, completely false. Unless they have proved this already by keeping it on for 10 years (which obviously they haven't done)

Bac Xbox One is great and all but the price is ridiculous.
The price is very reasonable. Just be glad it isn't more.

SgTMadkid96HomunculousWink Lol I don't believe this one bit.
It's probably true considering some lightbulbs can last 70 years lit the entire time
I have a day one 360 that I use and play on at least a couple hours a day and its lasted (just had to add some thermal paste to the cpu and video card after a while) so I believe with the new technology and Microsoft learning from previous mistakes it could very well last that long
Conspiracy: Maybe thry madebthose mistakes on purpose? They sold alot of people a second or third xbox 360 because of the issues. It took them nearly 4 years to fix a simple problem.

It sounds good, though I just don't see it lasting as long as expected. Actually using it for games and turning it on and off causes some wear and tear I am sure.

DubleJayJBeardedSHROOMSPipBoy997Ampz 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.
No I was asking about his random it will last 4-5 years statement. It is annoying when people with no clue spout bullshit like it is fact.
