I agree that having dual GPU in a single console is not an option due to heat, power consumption...etc. However don't you think having 2 consoles connected in a way where they can share the GPU workload could provide some benefits?

You are thinking about it form a PC perspective...and yeah it doesn't make sense for console.

And where is the market that would pay for it? I always try and think in economic terms, not technology.

Even if a few thousand people are prepared to pay for it, a two-tier hardware capability like this is completely against the concept of a console anyway.

Well if a company is making money on a console...and you need to buy 2 consoles and 2 games to make this work, then there is some potential to sell this to the public. Crytek, Naughty Dog, Epic and other top tier developers would prolly jump on the opportunity to get a performance edge in the console market.

I am not saying I have the business plan for this model or anything...but I am hoping that someone at Microsoft or Sony does :)
