One thing I'm fairly certain of is that, unless it is an optional add-on for people who want 3D display or higher resolution (or what not), no console manufacturer will release a system with 2 GPUs. It would (likely) be too expensive, use too much energy (and run too hot), and would (likely) increase the failure rate of the system.

Two GPUs could refer to the model Nvidia and AMD/ATI have used for some time to create some highend cards, where they stick two GPUs on one graphics card for increased performance.

I know, and these cards are less reliable, are far more expensive, use far more energy, and run far hotter than their single chip counterparts ...
