Leaker (Rumor): NX Is Modular, Upgradable, Uses Tegra X1 Successor

Beauty of Nintendo is in simplicity. Sega Genesis 32x was way too complicated. In console gaming people expect simplicity and if the leak is true then Nintendo is going for a bad product. Chip doesn't matter. If customers are confused then it won't spell well.

32X wasn't complicated unless the user was a fucking idiot who couldn't figure out how to insert a cartridge into the Genesis to begin with. 

32X just sucked ... that was the problem. It had like 15 games total, 3 of which were actually decent, and was released 5 months before Sega's actual next-generation console (the Saturn). There was no incentive to buy it. Would you buy a Wii U Plus this November or wait for a proper NX in March/April? 

The Genesis really wasn't designed to be modular in that way anyway, that's why the 32X looked so bizarre. The NES to GameCube were all modular with bottom side upgrade ports. This is the bottom of the GameCube:

The issue with the 32x and every other peripheral unit which is released on a later date are the limitations to exclusive games. See also the Motion+ Wii remote.

When this is true and Nintendo is doing it right, then every game out there should take advantage of it from the beginning. Meaning, the games will be scalable like on the PC with less configuration for the details. It will be rather a choice between low, mid, high or something in that direction.
