If you had 3 weeks between the Derby and Preakness and 4 weeks between the Preakness and the Belmont, winning the Triple Crown may be even harder to achieve.
With that schedule, it would be conceivable that the latest trend of skipping the Preakness (eg Empire Maker, Summer Bird, Strodes Creek, Aptitude, Perfect Drift, Ice Box, Birdstone, Bluegrass Cat, Nehro, Kissin Kris, Jazil, Tiago, Ten Most Wanted, Dunkirk, Stay Thirsty etc.) would fall by the wayside. To a lesser degree, the same goes for skipping the Belmont (eg Summer Squall, Street Sense, Lookin At Lucky, Bernardini, Congaree, Peace Rules, Fusaichi Pegasus, etc.).
