Alright throughout Nintendo's press conference I was wondering. With each player having their own screen how many players could a single unit support. I don't know how much proccessing power the console needs to output 1080p visuals to each controller does someone else have a guess? But with each controller having its own screen the console could potentially support 8-players or maybe even more.

I noticed Nintendo never mentioned this. Infact Nintendo didn't even say four players but that is a given. But could Nintendo revolutionalize multiplayer again by offering 8 player local gameplay? It would be awsome to have a ton of friends over and all play together like a LAN party but all on the single system.


So what do you think is 8-player a possibility? Could WiiU handle that? If so would you want to see 8 player support in games? Would you want to have LAN like parties at your house with 8 of your friends? Infact what if the console could handle even more then 8 players wouldn't that be awsome too?
