Microsoft claim that the red ring of death should soon be a thing of the past with the release of the Jasper Xbox 360. The reason they’re so confident is because the newer version contains a component which allows the Xbox 360 to run cooler and more reliability as a result.

Aaron Greenberg  of Microsoft recently spoke optimistically about ending the various failure problems to Edge Online:

We’ve improved that [repair] process. It’s very quick, and they may upgrade your system with the latest technology. So that works really well. What it comes down to is isolating and figuring out the issue, fixing the issue, and the more that we can fix the issue, and know it’s fixed, then we’re good going forward. We’ve put the worst behind us on this, but we know there are a few lagging systems, and so we want to take those and make it right.

I think the RROD will decline because I think you expect these system failures to be ironed out of future versions. Major corporations always do this, take a look at Microsoft with their improvements on Windows Vista with their release of Windows 7 for instance. I think it’s a shame the fundamental Red Ring Of Death problems weren’t spotted earlier on, or how major corporations don’t spot major faults with their products in the first place. You’d think the RROD has been a great warning for all rivals of the Xbox 360, but as we all know the Sony PS3 has a similar problem to the 3 Red Lights with their Yellow Light Of Death failure. You live and learn I guess…
