Unfortunately, I have to dispute your claims, RB. It has a single POWER7 CPU, according to the latest available info confirmed by Nintendo. And for your information, POWER7 does not equal G3, but a completely different family of CPUs, more powerful than that of the PowerPC G5 (which is a single-core derivative of the POWER4). In addition, the custom AMD GPU is to be based on the Radeon R700 architecture (the basis of the Radeon HD 4000 series GPUs), also according to confirmed information from Nintendo
As for the 'other two', Sony's own Kazuo Hirai has already ruled out any announcement of a new Playstation console this year and confirming the 10-year life-cycle of the PS3, and while Microsoft has yet to announce anything about the rumored 'Durango' console, their own subsidiary in France is not convinced this or any other new console will be out in 2012, and the projected Christmas 2012 release of Windows 8 certainly gives this credence.
