Nintendo said that the cost of adding the second gamepad was having the fps dropped by half and while Mario Kart isn't very graphics intensive that's still a lot of pixels.
Unless they find a way to avoid that performance hit and run the game at 30fps for all the 6 players then they will go with only 5.
Please excuse my bad English.
