Feature sets, yes... possibly.
But that doesn't necessarily mean all three will be able to use those features at the same speed.

8 controller ports?
Can connect with up to 8 DS's
an "EyeToy" type control device with 8 lenses?
8 sound channels?
a "Tarantula" controller that you put on your head that reads brainwaves?
8 pipelines in graphics processor?
8 "Vector/FPU/whatever" processors assisting the central CPU
.
.
.
Then again, GCN had the codename "Dolphin", and in the end GameCube didn't have fins, didn't squeak, didn't swim or rescue people who had fallen in the sea.
But the GameCube's purple colour is a little bit "dolphiny"
...so the revolution will be brown?
Edit: Oh, so the Tarantula is the codename for the CPU

That's quite possible.
Just because there has been much more talk concerning "Cell" than there has been of Nintendo's next tech, doesn't mean there can not be other companies developing chips that meet or even exceed what "Cell" has to offer.
GameCube is a suprisingly powerful piece of kit.
In my eyes it looks to be even more powerful than xbox, even though the official specs would say otherwise.
GC has muliplatform titles that are weaker than xbox, but that could be because of effort put into them.
But if you look at many of the exclusive titles especially Metroids and RE4.
Compare Metroid to Halo2.... Metroid is far more visually and technically impresive than Halo2, which is supposedly using the xbox resources close to max.
If Sony is aiming for a convergence device with "Cell" designed aroud it, that might give the designer(s) of Nintendos next chip(s) some advantage if Nintendo stay in its "gaming only" road.

What in the world!?!?
You don't hear any details about the Revolution because (1) It's nowhere near complete and (2) Nintendo is very secretive.
I believe that you don't want it to exist, but the Revolution is coming.
I agree.

Why the hell would Nintendo lower themselves to sell just one console in... Asia?
They're the ones that are making the profit.
They're the ones that are on top of Xbox.

Arguably.
But this whole crazy theory is just that, a crazy theory.

N/O, but more like someone with a brain tumor talking.
Or should I say brain tumors, this MS/N conspiracy has been repeated years on end, it's really getting boring...

People always seem to think that just because MS has a bit of cash on the side, they will end up buying everyone. Even you and me.
So this is Nintendo's Tarantula:
and this is "Cell"
Please note, that these images are not from any patent.
So if "Tarantula" means that it has 8 co-processors, to be reminiscent of a "tarantula", it would need 8 legs, but the "co-processors" or "APU's" or whatever they'll be named are not connected with each other, as is the case with "Cell" (lower img.)
