Everything else is the same except you can swap out the graphics card with a newer/better model. It uses the same graphics cards you put in a PC.

This seems promising but what if they made so you could swap out all the parts and totally customize the hardware? Or use different, highly customizable operating systems? Maybe even make it usable for work by connecting it to a monitor and a keyboard/mouse.

its amazing to think about the advances in not only graphics but also gameplay etc - the entire "ourve" of the video game industry grew by leaps and bounds every couple years. the span of 1995-2000 had literally dozens of all time classics released every year, just jaw dropping. Overwhelming.

Then around 2005, after XBOX 360 and PS3 were out, gaming advances more or less stopped.

Sure graphics are prettier now, but even though they might be technically way better they don't look a ton better, and a lot of PS3 and 360 games still look pretty damn good today.

And the gameplay options and advances just stopped after 2005 or so (other than VR). Back then you had sims, shooters, third person shooters, platformers, RPGs, etc etc etc - today its the exact same genres. Same fucking gameplay, controls, etc. Even the controllers peaked with PS3/360 - its the Same Controller and controller layouts 20 years later.

I'm sure there are some niche genres that I am not thinking of, but every big genre now was the same shit, same gameplay and controls, almost the same graphics, etc in 2005.

You don't have to upgrade the GPU if you don't want to. It comes out of the box with a Radeon RX 6600, which is plenty for most AAA games.

would only work if you made the cards hot-swappable so even utter retards could do it. which means not x86-based, which means a whole new instruction set/architecture which means a whole new paradigm for gaming. good luck.

Just put an Occulink port on it. Then anyone can attach an eGPU and go nuts.

so the GPU would sit external to the console? seems clunky for mass market appeal.

You can install an internal GPU too, but the eGPU lets you hot swap without risk of fire when you connect the 12VHPWR connector.

People on Reddit connect a huge external GPU to a mini PC the size of an Apple TV. It looks ridiculous and they should have just gotten a desktop

Those miniPCs are shit. I bought one and had to mod it immediately so it wouldn't throttle. The USB4 port is not up to spec either.

It would really just be a marketing thing. Users on Reddit will report that they got no benefit from upgrading the video card, but it won't affect sales of the console.
