I agree for the most part. The only fork in the road is Nintendo. True, Nintendo might have patents for upgradable consoles and I would welcome it. But they are still dead set on making new experiences which more than likely require new hardware components. 

Most of Nintendo's innovations can be be boiled down to peripherals which they done a pretty good job of selling during the Wii era (Balance Board, Wii Motion plus). Both outsold the Wii U :p

Yeah! I was going to mention peripherals but I forgot to mention that! In this case, Nintendo could make prebuilt upgradeable consoles too. The pperipherals could easily connect to newer builds. This is sounding much better to me now. I really don't want the future to be full of PS12 and Xbox Elevens. Coming up with a universal name that's upgradable is the future of gaming consoles imo. I'd much rather have a console named the Playstation for the rest of my life, as long as it evolves with the times. Or just being able to say, "Let's Play NIntendo" again. Not, "Let's Play Nintendo Wii XYZABC U".
