I think the stuff about the Xbox being upgradable is overblown. Maybe a future Xbox platform, but not the One. You can't change the processor without changing the motherboard. The weaknesses with the One are the RAM being DDR3, and the lack of ESRAM, and the GPU.
Even if you had a discrete graphics card in a new Xbox, in a few years the bandwidth of the motherboard, CPU, etc, would be outclassed and you would always have a bottleneck. Shills at Forbes proclaim this will make the Xbox immortal. Maybe in the way an iPhone is immortal? Maybe if you believe in reincarnation.
Its just an idea that sounds cool but doesn't mean anything. Even a PC cannonly be upgraded so far, and its design to be modular. They're already making a loss on cheap console hardware.
After the shaky launch of the Xbox One, would people buy an Xbox Two , also kmowing they might have to shell out for upgrades in a year
