Naaa..... X86 doesn't work that way when it comes to compatibility. They could even have a 4 core CPU and still be fine. When devs make games for these consoles its not like they are writing for CPU 1, 2, 3, 4....etc. They have the bulk of their game code run on one or two cores, then the rest of their CPU code that can be broken up is kinda just dumped on the rest of the cores. Every system esential code is run on the primary 1 or 2 cores.
