Will consoles ever be upgradeable?

I was just wondering about this and I think it would be pretty cool to upgrade a consoles GPU, processor, powersource etc.
don't flame on me, telling me to "buy a PC" because I'm not a fan of pc gaming due to the fact that I prefer a controller and using a controller on pc puts you at a disadvantage.

Meh, there's a ton of people on of that are using a controller for pc now. I'm not of of those because I'm a man but I wouldn't say that you're nearly at the disadvantage that you would have been just a couple of years ago.
Also, could you imagine how expensive a gpu for a console would be? Hell the same 7950 that I just bought for less than 300 is 500 for the Mac version. The price gouging would be marvelous.
ETA: I realize that's not the best comparison but I think you get my point. Also, console upgrade path would be very limited unless you could just replace everything and that kind of defeats the purpose of a console.

You would never need to buy a new console if you could just upgrade your old one. At the very least they would last longer. Doesn't sound like a good business move.

That would pretty much by definition make it no longer a console.

Not sure if that's a good idea. One of the main advantages of consoles is that you don't have to upgrade them at all. Once you have one, you're set for a good 8-10 years. Hell I still play my PS2 every now and then.
