Xbone can stay powered for 10 years
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-15706-Report--Xbox-One-Designed-to-Stay-Powered-on-for-10-Years.html
While it's just a report and not 100% I do find it quite interesting. Microsoft has learned the mistake from the 360 and tackled the overheating problem which means their will hopefully be no more issued like the RRoD. According to the article the RRoD problems cost them over $1 billion which is a pretty hefty blow. They've also designed it to be almost silent. I'm hoping that's the case because the 360 just sounds awful.
Thoughts?

Instead of RRoD we now just have leaks in the containment and cooling systems and have to deal with radiation burns, sickness, and possible nuclear meltdown. There is a disclaimer about playing the Xbox One during severe thunderstorms too. A combination of a power surge and attempt an emergency shutdown could lead to an exponentially larger spike in power output, which in turn could lead to a reactor vessel rupture and a series of steam explosions. These events might expose the graphite moderator of the reactor to air, causing it to ignite. We've already lost two production and testing plants like this. In order to prevent this all you have to do is order Microsoft brand cadmium rods to insert into the Xbox One reactor. Don't worry they are only 1200 MS points a piece. You should also follow the shut down and start up procedures to the letter...[/quote]
