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.

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...?
Sorry? Based on that it's just a computer slapped in a micro case with shitty cooling. Most PC's give out in a few years just because parts fail. While they fanny about with the clock speed of things they need to balance it out with other stuff to suffice from the damage done by overclocking, being better in some departments may not be the overall best thing for the console.
