If it's this complicated with multiple parts you can buy to upgrade or you need to buy to be able to play or not like an handheld, it will fail.

The Neo and Scorpio seem already complicated for the casual crowd when they're just simple iteration, a console as a kit would just be too much. Simplicity is key: they failed to explain clearly the easy concept of the Wii U, I can't see how they would explain this thing and sell it to casual gamers and parents like they want to do. A console with the PC upgrade system is the opposite of "We want the casuals back like what we did with the Wii"... (and let's not talk about price or third party support for this)

I think the "leaker" is wrong or misinterpreting things.

I agree with the worry of it being overcomplicated.  If there's one thing I think you have to assume when it comes to the average consumer; it's that they're probably too lazy to figure things out that are out of the ordinary even if it's just a little out of their comfort zone.  If this rumor turns out to be true, then Nintendo is going to have to try really hard to show people how it works. I'm talking about continuously repeating the concept slowly and simplistically as if they're trying to explain it to a bunch of five-year-olds with ADHD.
