Update: This news later turned out to be a trick from someone who was creative with a vape. He made it seem as if the Xbox Series X (which is plagued by other problems, by the way) also functioned as a smoke machine. Either way, the new Xbox doesn’t catch fire after a few hours of gaming. We apologize for hastily writing this news item.
Original message:
Yesterday the day finally came: The new generation of Xbox’s has arrived! The release is unfortunately not quite smooth. In any case, the device is on fire, but more in the literal sense of the word ..
More and more videos and photos of failing devices are popping up on social media. It always seems to be about this de Xbox Series X and not for his little brother. The brand new appliances smoke, have problems with the discs and sometimes just refuse to turn on or off altogether. Twitterer Whats Tech has here a nice thread made of it.

Microsoft customer service seems to be getting busy in the coming days. Unless of course you like to use your Xbox as a chimney, barbecue or raclette grill .. Then you should keep it.
