Reminds me of this recent story on Reddit where a Xbox Series X overheats and blows up: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/pdvcct/my_xbox_series_x_exploded_almost_killing_my_cat/ https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/pdvcct/my_xbox_seri... I will be skipping this generation. Not that it matters anyway, these consoles are impossible to find and buy, at least this will continue to be the case well into 2022.

OP removed their post. The comment section is a slaughter, with people calling shenanigans. I'd agree with the skeptics, I can't imagine what inside the console would blow up like that. The PSU is the most likely culprit, but it won't do anywhere near that kind of damage. Look at GamersNexus overloading a 750 watt PC PSU, vastly more chunky than an Xbox Series X pulling something like 170 watts at most: https://youtu.be/7JmPUr-BeEM https://youtu.be/7JmPUr-BeEM A pop and a fizz but nothing that would do more than startle someone and maybe, in an absolute worst-case scenario set fire to some accumulated cat hair.
