Just to clarify, what does he mean with "single processor"? Is he talking about the CPU, the GPU or another thing?

I don't think he understands technology at all.

Rendering to two screens is as hard as rendering to one screen with twice the resolution or framerate, and the tablet screen is optional much like the second screen on the DS was. Number of cores/GPUs doesn't come into it; game devs can just have the tablet screen blank if they want to make the TV screen look better.

Thanks for the answer.

I asked that because the console only has 1 CPU, but it has 3 cores so he couldn't be talking about it, and given that most WiiU games will be 720p on the TV and the screen of the gamepad probably isn't HD, the GPU shouldn't have a problem dealing with them, at least for now.
