Worst: Red Ring of Death
Any retrospective about the Xbox 360 has to mention this part of the console’s history. For the first few years of the Xbox 360’s lifecycle, the console was prone to hardware failure due to overheating. I personally had to buy four Xbox 360s over the years and send one back to Microsoft for repairs due to all the hardware issues. While the Xbox 360 was a big success despite these problems, I wonder how much better it would have done if the Red Ring of Death hadn’t been a problem and made people question investing in a new Xbox.
