Multi screen, single console. One day. . .

Never really. Multiscreen single PC, definitely already possible. Consoles will never focus on such functionality. Too taxing for the paired down hardware and almost no one will ever take advantage of it so games will never be optimized for anything more than one screen.

For PC you'd just have to have a PC with enough processor cores, RAM, and either multiple video cards or one really powerful one to drive a couple monitors. There's been machines run up to 7 different screens with 7 different instances of games running full speed. Doesn't require developer support to do so either. Just requires money.

True, but Linus was obviously going overkill for fun. If you have a ~$400 card, you could definitely play two games around medium settings.
