Is there any Nintendo "leaked" or patented design you liked?

It's much easier for the consumer to buy a device every 4-5 years than worry about spending money every year, and game compatibility etc. If you like that stuff, I'd suggest moving to PC because the console industry is what it is because of it's simplicity. 

To me easy to upgrade hardware IS easier than having to upgrade your entire setup and spend $300-$400 doing so (after pricing in new controllers and all that jazz), in many cases rendering your existing games and accessories moot. 

PC is not the same thing, it's not easy to upgrade anything unless you are a computer dork (I use that word affectionately, but lets be honest, the inside of most tower PCs is fairly intimidating). 

Something I can buy for cheap and just plug in like plugging in new batteries to a TV remote though? I'd be fine with that. The Wiimote even did it with Wii Motion Plus. No fuss. To me that's more simple than forcing people to have to throw out their old Wiimotes and buy entirely new ones. 

I don't know how shopping for upgrades, plugging them in, checking to make sure newer games work with your current setup is easier than spending $300 dollars and not worrying/doing anything for another 5 years. You buy ONE piece of hardware, and that's it. All games work for the next 5 years... nothing else is needed.
