Why are most of you thinking black and white?
There is SOME point to what he says. Rendering the graphics of a single TV screen of course requires less computing than rendering the same TV screen graphics PLUS the graphics of two additional screens.
It is possible to think of scenarios where this could be a bottleneck, but in practice, this is probably seldom going to be much of a problem. As others have already pointed out, the tablet screens will often only be used to display menus, maps, inventory etc., simple 2D graphics that require hardly any computation. Furthermore, most games will probably support only one WiiU-Controller anyway.
Personally, I am sceptical about the WiiU. But I believe that in a few years when we'll be discussing the problems that stopped the WiiU from being a bigger success, we will be talking more about the somewhat limited appeal of asymmetrical gaming than this.
