xbox one x has special circuits to prevent signal lines glitching

Yes, Microsoft is the only console manufacturer right now who knows what they're doing ;)

tbh that's only because they had it done to them once before (RGH anyone?)

Not just that. They're also the only console manufacturer capable of learning. They made *all* the mistakes with the Xbox, fixed them all, got thrown new attacks with the 360, fixed it, now they have a secure system. Nintendo and Sony keep repeating mistakes.

To Nintendo's credit, they actually did learn from their mistakes, very very well. They went with an Off-the-Shelf chip because they learned they couldn't do IC security well at all, and their OS is remarkably more secure than the 3DS iteration upon which it's based.

Except Nvidia is worse than Nintendo at IC security, and they *still* shipped an out of date and vulnerable WebKit, and they *still* have stupid OS bugs allowing escalation.

What OS bugs are you thinking of, specifically? Because the most juicy ones are long since patched. The ones in private are good but not nearly as powerful as their 3DS equivalents. And yeah, Nvidia blows at IC security apparently but I had no idea until I started on this.

Having them once is enough. But more importantly, they have no serious hypervisor-based security, no encrypted memory, crypto hardware security is a joke (blame Nvidia for that one), ... all things the 360 got right years ago.
