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.

Frog I bet it cannot last that long really, I mean, that's the main reason so many people have broken 360's because they always leave them on... Nice if this is true though, it'll save customers a lot of money!
Yeah I agree, I bet they break within at least 3-4 years

Considering how much they cost I hope this is true

Yeah I always thought that they would make it smaller then the current Xbox, that's usually what they do as the technology gets better it also gets smaller but I am fine with this as it will be very quite and provide for a better gaming experience.

This is good. But I kind of expected them to make the software this good? I mean it is the "next-gen" console. Why wouldn't they put in the best software they possibly could. Not a surprise to me :/
