There's basically zero chance of this happening in the next few years, the price of components and the engineering problems (heat, power) make this all but impossible unless you move to a much higher price scale and I really don't see people buying a $1,000 portable console that's 4" thick and weighs 6 or 7 pounds (at least).

You would have to duct tape 15-20 iPads together to equal the raw computing power of a 360, never mind making it faster. The iPad uses a cellphone CPU and it's GPU is the same thing as the Intel GMA 500.

If Microsoft goes with the tablet route, they made it really easy for me to decide to only get Sony's next PS
