Xbox One X Bricking Issues Might Not Be Related To Faulty Hardware
If you have purchased an Xbox One X and it is not powering on, or randomly shutting off when playing games, it is possible that you might have a faulty power cable for the console, or that you have to plug it directly instead of using something like a surge protector. Microsoft also recommends to utilize this method in case your console has issue getting turned off or shutting down.
Some users were able to fix their console by changing their power cable, or by making sure that it was inserted carefully into the console since it can end up being loose. I have also personally faced this issue when I sold my original Xbox One and upgraded to an Xbox One Slim. It is possible that as a new console, you might have to apply more force to insert the power cable even though just putting it inside will make it seem like it is held firmly in place.
Xbox One X has launched on November 7th and can be currently bought for $499. It is being sold at a slightly more expensive price compared to the PS4 Pro, which retails for $399.

Well for something as serious they need to figure out what is causing the issue pretty quickly.

just to clarify, there has been no statement made by MS to confirm that this is happeing due to a hardware failure, a few have had issues because they did not push their power cable all the way in till it clicks it is really stiff to push in.
ive had mine since launch so have a few other friends, and we have had no issue what so ever with them. so if youre gonna grab one go a head and dont worry, plus youre covered under warranty anyway.

Dr_ArkansasKyloCrux I'll wait for these issues to come out and be resolved before I cop one Black Friday.
The ones you get on Black Friday are the same batch as release day.
This dude is not wrong with that statement of his.

Craig Well, isn't that just reassuring.
Like Potion mentions below, all of the console launches have had some form of issues.

I had to get mine replaced as the first ones fan would go from silent to leaf blower is a split second when playing any game.
New on doesn't and is silent when playing XB1 games and only slightly audiable when playing enhanced games. ( AC and Titanfall push it the most currently )
No other issues with the console, just the fan issue and that's resolved now.
