Why does my Xbox not turn off?

When I play with my XBOX, I cannot turn it off my pressing the power button. It will not turn off. I turn it off by unplugging it but I am afraid by doing that often, it will damage the system. How do I fix this?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

If it's not turning off via the power button, you may not be pressing it hard enough, there may be something stuck inside of the button or maybe the button is just plain broken. Either way, the XBOX is not like a computer, you can shut it down using the button, so turning it off by unplugging the power is like the same as unplugging it and shouldn't be damaging unless you do so while it's saving data.
