Official Xbox account remembers when Xbox Series X was accused of going up in flames

It was 2020, the Xbox Series X was already in the hands of a lucky few given the high stock issues Microsoft consoles were experiencing. It seems like yesterday... But yes, there were people who he dedicated himself to making vaping videos the new American console to try to show that the machine was burning after a few hours of use.

Obviously, this caused a lot of noise on the Internet, with a lot of testimonies echoing this "problem" which was ultimately only a set-up. Microsoft used this movement to mock the creators of these counterfeits and thus take advantage of them as a marketing tool. They started a little campaign that said "Please do not spray your Xbox Series Xand they gained quite a bit of traction.

A cat that has come a long way

Yesterday and for no apparent reason, the official Twitter account of the brand took the opportunity to remember this funny moment when the networks were activated by the invention of four people. The tweet had a huge impact on the Xbox community. This anecdote is long gone and after Microsoft's funny campaign, the hoax generators ceased their efforts.

I leave the tweet below:

I'm reposting this tweet today. No uh. Without reason. https://t.co/uAeWuv646q

Currently you have the Microsoft console with another discount on amazon. If you were thinking of catching it, maybe today is the right time to treat yourself.
