Nintendo NX: 10 Awesome Reveals That Could Win The Console War
4. Modular Upgrades
It looks like game console cycles are going to get less easily-defined over the coming years, what with Valve's Steam Machine allowing players to buy modular upgrades for their system, while the PS4 and Xbox One will be releasing new iterations of their current consoles (rather than entirely new platforms) over the next 18 months.
Nintendo can get in on the fun all while future-proofing themselves by following Valve's suit and allowing players to upgrade the NX to their own specifications without needing to buy a whole new upgraded platform sometime later (all while their current unit loses a ton of value).
How Likely Is It?: It's a nice idea, but considering that so many Nintendo games appeal to both children and the casual crowd in general, the interest in modular upgrades would probably not be sufficient enough for Nintendo to consider it. 3/10
