I want to know the answer to the following question:
How does the 360 S then react to an overheating situation?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The newer Xbox 360 S model indicates system overheating when the console's power button begins to flash red, unlike previous models where the first and third quadrant of the ring would light up red around the power button if overheating occurred.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
