Probably not, but it makes for exciting modification options down the line. It's also quite impressive thinking about how their repairs and after-sales service will work with this new way of building consoles.

If a console were going to offer some sort of modular upgrade, it wouldn't be where the user opens the system, and takes parts out, and replaces it with another part. It'd be something that has it's own casing, and its own proprietary port. This kind of thing has been done before in the past, although it was more for add-ons. When it comes to consoles, it'd have to be idiot proof, as there are a lot of idiots out there, and allowing just random parts would defeat the purpose of a console's simplicity.

The first xbox people modded the crap out of it what microsoft wants doesnt matter. The first xbox was a great emulator troops overseas would get them modded with like 2000 games on their hardrives having every game from Atari, Nes, super nes, genesis and all the way up to that current gen.

I would've thought so. But then again, take a look as the custom market for controllers and other referrals. This kind of hardware design may open up a custom market for the console itself down the line.

Lol definitely but it would still be cool if it actually happened.

I agree, but their are possibilities with it's modular design that could open up various option down the line.

They cant void your warranty anymore if you open up your electronics to clean and maintain them, it was never really a legal thing in the first place, and now it's something no company is allowed to do (atleast in the uk).

Yeah, it would. And realistically, all parts for every console I've ever opened up tend to all be multiple parts that just plug into something. That's kind of true for PC's, although they also use more standardized interfaces. The main board...or sometimes more than one system board, are assembled at the factory, and the boards themselves may even be made at a different factory and sent someplace to be assembled.

The more I think about it the more it makes sense that XBX's propriety slot could be used for upgrades. It could even include a ray tracing expansion to improve or offload ray racing features from the console.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
