Absorbing Wii U architecture?

Look more they are planning to do something similar like the FAT- PS3, having 2 cpu in one console for 100% backward compatibility.

That would be too expensive, I guess. They could of course make the 3-cores be a part of the system to serve for helping the system in special tasks. That would mean the GPU is fully backwards compatible and the memory architecture is fast enough to "emulate" the esram used in WiiU. 

the gpu shouldnt be a problem and eSram with x86 is possible and not the worst road. changing the arm for the wiiu mainprocessor is a clever way to get BC relativy cheap. but if they go with fully x86(and a small arm) emulation shouldnt be such a big problem if nintendo makes it.
