You know what? I'm just gonna repost my post from HBO
But first, an EDIT:
Ok Draerden, now read my post, and find where I say that you can't hold three weapons. Can't do it, can ya? Hell, I even said that you can get up to four. Which is more than three.
Now, my post from HBO:
Ok, clearly what occurs is this:
He starts the map with the SMG and the Battle Rifle (as you used to start out with an Assault Rifle and a Pistol). He kills Max (who had swapped his SMG for the sword), and obtains the ammo for the Battle Rifle. He then switches his Needler/SMG combo for the Sword.
What does this mean? Note the "Hold Y to Dual Wield" when he stood over the Needler with the SMG. The dual-wielding setup takes up one weapon slot. This means that to dual wield, you can't say "I have a plasma pistol and an SMG in my inventory, I think I'll dual wield them." You have to walk over the desired second weapon, and press and hold Y to turn that one slot into a dual wielding one.
Heck, maybe there's a way to consolidate both of your one-handed weapons into a single dual-wielding slot, but they didn't show that, so we can only speculate. But it's clear that you can have up to four weapons (both slots devoted to a dual-wielding configuration). But, it's still two slots for your guns, so I'm quite fine with it.
