This is a terrible question. It cannot be answered properly. It all depends on how well you take care of it, what batch of consoles it's from, and when it was made. and what model it is. All those factors can sway your odds from maybe a 90% chance or better of a durable unit, to only a 15 or 20 percent chance that it will last you very long.

I think we are about a year away from being able to walk into any store and buy a 360 that you can have pretty good faith in that it will last a good long while, meaning a couple years atleast with proper care. By then the 65 nm process will be widely available in all models and in all inventory stocks, it will have had a few runs of production to get sorted out, and the rumored 45nm process will started or about to be started, so the temperature issues should be much farther along the way to being a dead issue, and other new components will see thier way into the systems.

ya thats kind of scary though if what he said was true 1 in 10 of Not breaking. even said by a ms guy

I had mine for over a years (I have a fan attached to it) and the only problem I had was a stuck disk tray. I spoke to someone over the phone about this and he told me the reason that happened is because I had my xbox in a vertical position. He even said that the xbox disk tray wasn't well designed enough to withstand virtical positioning.Kon323
