Not a silly question but sadly no it won't work. I don't think the XBone has the sheer horsepower for triples tbh, nor the PS4.
Very true. It would appear from this thread http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/xbox_one_support/f/4269/t/1624807.aspx that the Xbone no longer supports system link like its predecessor the 360. Odd to remove such a feature.Neither did the previous generation consoles, but the 360 and PS3 were capable through daisy-chaining. I have not seen anything about the PS4 or XBO being capable of this yet though.
