I can't decide between you and zorg which one actually has less technical knowledge and which one has less grasp on how video games and video game hardware actually work...
It's so incredibly naive. It literally boils down to "iOS exists. Steam exists. Nintendo can do both og those things. I don't see why not", and just ignoring every single counter argument everyone ever says.
Rinse. Repeat.
Your logic isn't getting any better. The obvious counter arguments remain. This isn't going to happen like you think it is, and if it does, be prepared for Nintendo to get completely and utterly slaughtered. You literally want Nintendo to give up on making actual game consoles and instead make their version of a smart phoen with no phone functionality, and be slaughtered by the likes of Apple and Android like they are now, and/or just go head-to-head against PC gamers, taking a page out of their book, making Nintendo's version of steam on Nintendo's version of the PC. These are two totally horrendous ideas and you keep doubling down and making thesm more and more and more unreasonable, but cannot fathom why its unreasonable no matter what anyone says.
No one should have to explain to you why upgradable hardware is a bad idea.
No one should have to explain to you why having an "NX game" not supported by "all NX hardware" is a bad idea.
No one should have to explain to you why the hardware would be much more expensive as a result of this concept.
No one should have to explain to you why this would be magnitudes more confusing to the average consumer than the Wii U is.
No one would buy this concept. No one besides the few million Nintendo fans that buy all Nintendo hardware regardless. If this is the direction you really want Nintendo to go, you should be pushing them to stop making hardware althogether, and just make iOS/android and PC games. That is the only way Nintendo will make money at either of these concepts. Period.

Dude, we're brainstorming and it's an idea. I personally find that Soundwave and Zorg both provide excellent speculative analysis when it comes to the NX. They don't have to be right for their ideas to be interesting and useful. I think your criticism is unnecessarily harsh and I, for one, hope that Soundwave continues to share his ideas and make threads.

But Soundwave's ideas objectively aren't useful in this case. It would be similar to someone making a thread of how great of a move it would be if Sony published all of the Uncharted 4 on the Xbox One because they would sell even more copies of Uncharted 4 than they could just selling it on PS4. I'm sorry, but no, that really isn't a good idea for Sony to do that. Period. This whole concept of Nintendo making an upgradable modular console It makes even less sense.
Sega tried it with the Sega CD and 32X. Nintendo tried it before with the N64 and the expansion pak. Valve is trying it now with the Steam box platform. How well did any of those ideas churn out? Ohh right. All were complete and utter failures. The 32X sold well less than a million units. Two games actually required the expansion pak, and the Steam box platform? No one's buying it, and that's marketed to people that demonstratbly want to have upgradable hardware. It is just so obvious that the mere concept is such a horrific idea. It's really that bad.
You can dream of all the nonsense you want, but it's another to say "this is how Nintendo should make their next console. This idea would be successful". Well no. No it won't. No one will buy it. No third party would support it, and it takes very little common sense and knowledge of the game industry to know how obvious it is as to why Nintendo shouldn't even think about going in that direction.
Let's move on to ideas that actually have some merit, some validity. Let's not keep exploring something that is a blatant waste of time.
