Well, providing you keep it in a good environment, it should last hopefully for many years. However, a percentage of consoles can have problems just within a few months of owning them.

I have 2 xbox 360s (well had, gave my1st to my nephew after repair)and my second one just got the RROD :( Kept them well ventilated and in an adult only home. Guessing will have problems, but would not worry about it to much they both last about 6 or 7 months for me before problems.

it's much easier to keep your xbox alive if you don't have little siblings who are not over 14 yet. they have no sense of responsibility, as my 13 year old brother left my 360 on over night, for about 10 hours straight on pause, and he kept doing this, thinking that the 360 would still survive. this is where it comes down to, take the powerbrick away and hide it somewhere so someone stupid can't play unless you are in the room with them.

There is no way to really know this. All you can do is buy one, keep good care of it and hope for the best. Sometimes you do your best and it still dies and sometimes it doesn't. If you get one, good luck.

It will, I give it 8 months, then RROD.

If you play it a lot, it will crap out after 8 months or so.

There is a good chance it would, reconsider the console or wait till MS fixes the problems.

Ya that's what my friends did to mine -.- it got the RROD (luckily i did what that other guy did and got a store warrenty at gamecrazy, it's probobly the best choice). When i went to bed after shutting it off a million times they keep playing till they pass out it's so dumb.
