Suggestion: Console revisons and variants #848

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not really.

Describe the solution you'd like A system that would allow us to create a revision/variant of a console. I way I think this could work is this: if a player has already released a console they can make a variant changing one or more components (never all at once) for different ones (either more or less powerfull) and then produce this variant of the console with the original one. The production points needed to develop the variant would slightlymore than the total points of all the new components, production cost would be the current og console's cost but adjusting the price for the new components, however the variant would not have as much production cost optimization as part of the production line would have to be rebuilt. To prevent players from continuoslyupdating the same consolethe prod. points and cost penalty would increase as time passes from the og console's release. The game library is shared by all variants unless one of the variant doesn't meet the graphical/computational rquirement in which case that variant specifically won't have that specific game. Sales are tracked separately for all variants but marketing campaing benefits them all.

Describe alternatives you've considered Not that I can think off.

Additional context The idea behind this is to emulate the actual practice of releasing console revisions with some improvements (like a DS Lite), to create budget versions of consoles (like the 2DS) or proversions (PS4 Pro), this could also serve to have several versions at launch (Xbox Series X/S ituation). This could serve players with very outdated hardware to have a cheap and quick way to create a console that can better accomodate the increasingly demanding games before a true succesor comes out, or to create a budget console if the og was too expensive. I think it would also be really cool to have the real_life console revisions represented in the game (like the aforementioned), idk perhaps this could evolve into an addon system?
