their not selling two pads because of confusion and basically the SYSTEM itself cannot support two.
Wrong:

If it could they would have had games supporting it already.
The current BOM of the Gamepad would probably make the cost of buying the console and an extra controller close to $500 for the consumer. It would make sense to wait until the cost comes down on the Gamepad (not to mention the console) before introducing games that take advantage of this setup.
Mario Kart8 is not gonna support nothing, its coming out too soon for Ninty to have to do anything about it.
Agreed.
I dont even think a firmware update could deal with this, it would have to massive.
You're not thinking outside the box. Streaming a full, graphic-intensive game to two Gamepads while simultaneously displaying on the TV is almost certainly not in the cards. But consider simpler tasks instead, like two users play calling in Madden or a WiiU Party sequel with something simple being displayed on the Gamepads independent of the full game which is displayed only on the TV. It's not about trying to display a full game multiple times, but using the screen and its functionality in unique, simpler ways - something that would most often be akin to "casual games"; and at the moment the entry price of this functionality is prohibitively expensive for that market.

I dont trust Fils-Aime as far as I can throw him, same with Reggie. Theyve flipflopped to many times on the whole WIi U since inception, ill believe it when I see it and if I see eat ill eat crow with a glass of Pepsi
Agree on the expense.
"You're not thinking outside the box. Streaming a full, graphic-intensive game to two Gamepads while simultaneously displaying on the TV is almost certainly not in the cards" This function is what im talking about in terms of multipad support, if they cant do that, then the whole thing IMHO is halfassed. Even your simpler tasks thing is not going to work for the reasons you already listed. Hell by the time is does get cheap enough to do something like that, alot of time might have passed, and will people honestly give a crap by then? I seriously doubt it.
Nothing Ninty has put out has been graphically intensive, why couldnt nintylandsupport two controllers? NSMB?
