The Xbox One will automatically detect if it is overheating and will make adjustments to cool the system down, General Manager of Console Development Leo del Castillo told Gizmodo (http://gizmodo.com/the-xbox-one-can-tell-when-its-overheating-and-power-1122442616). As is common with some PCs, Castillo said the development team can "dial back the power of the box considerably," forcing the system into a low-power state to correct issues.
Of course, the primary method for cooling the system down revolves around how the fan inside the box operates. "The way we designed the box, we don't actually intend it to ever have to go to maximum speed under normal environmental conditions," Castillo said. "But there is overhead. So we'll allow the fan to go all the way up to its maximum speed and if that solves the condition without the user having to do anything."
The Xbox One will launch this November in 13 regions, but will arrive in eight others in 2014 (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/08/14/xbox-one-scales-back-launch-to-13-markets-this-november/).
