Sorry, but this is a crazy idea. At the current pace it is totally impossible to design a computer, that is so advanced that it will be up to date five to six years later! Currently computers are slowed down sufficiently by the OS, that you don't see the real speed limitations. In one year they will have passed the PS-3 (and the Xbox 360) clearly. When Microsoft and Nintendo reease successors, these systems will be beyond the power of the PS-3 while they can be produced cheaper!
In fact developers are already running with their heads against a really low ceiling. The 256 MB Ram clearly limit the power of the PS-3. So even a small memory upgrade would improve the performance. But in the mean time many other bottlenecks would be removed, even if the PS-3 design would be the design of the future (which I doubt. I think the ease of use for programmers will become a much more important feature, to stop the constant rise of development costs.).
