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.

Glad I didn't cop one yet, I would be devastated to pay so much for a console for it to have this problem

Dusk Faulty equipment from the start... congrats Microsoft you officially have the production skills of a redneck makin moonshine.
This would imply that no other electronics have issues when first launched. The PS4 Pro had it, the original one had it, every console has had issues on launch.

But i've seen a guy check about 3 different power cables and none of them worked.... it actually seems to me that it is the power supply.... Its the only thing i can think of + its also exposed when you open the console that could even be the problem right there...

A majority of Electronic items have issues upon release. It must only be affecting the small majority of this would've been bigger news by this stage, also there seems to be solutions which is another positive.
