Better be a rumor. Between this and spencer saying he wants console upgrades for the xbone it seems like they're determined to undermine the very concept of the console.

Upgrades are for PCs... You're not supposed to have to keep buying new models with a console, as that really renders them pointless.

Yet youre buying a new console every 5 years

First, lately they're pushing 6-8 years. Second, there's a big difference between buying a new console every half decade+ and having to buy updates or newer models for your console throughout that half decade. At that point it'd be silly not to just go full PC, as you can upgrade far more effectively there on your own time.

This is certainly a poor precedent to set... I really thought old add ons like the sega cd/32x or the N64DD showed this sort of thing was a bad idea.
