Also, this part

NX should also be a large step more powerful than the XB1, leaving MS with the weakest hardware by far, and they should also anticipate MS trying to rush XB2, by making NX future upgradable.

Can someone explain me how can they do that without turning the console into a PC? Because in a console all components are soldered onto the PCB, you just can't remove one part and put another one in its place.

Nintendo filed a patent for cloud computing to power up console and handheld gaming. Not only that you can contribute to others and it gives you benefits. If done correctly, it could end up leading to pretty much never needing to upgrade a console again. It comes in the form of a device you plug into the back of your existing console.

Upgrading a console is to improve is hardware capabilities like the expansion memory of the N64 did, not relying on the Cloud.

Also, MSoft already talked about Cloud Computing with the XboxOne and almost everybody was against it because that implies an always connected console, with no offline play. The NX would turn into something like OnLive.
