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
Um... I assume the second person you're referring to here is Pachter, since Fils-aime is Reggie...
And you can take Pachter completely out of the equation (he was just the one speaking in that link) because Reggie confirmed it himself at E3 2012. If you choose not to believe him, that's your choice. I know Reggie has stated things in the past like WiiU's COD running superior to other versions, but that's more marketing bs than confirming that the console can achieve a specific function, so we'll see I guess.
"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?
You make it sound as if the WiiU is coming up on its last year on the market. The system is not even close to the market penetration it will be at two years from now and the price isn't even officially $299 yet for the deluxe model, much less $199. Why would people not care in the future if Nintendo does indeed back up their two-gamepad functionality with good software?
Regarding Nintendoland, again the answer is most likely the high price of the Gamepad (especially at launch). Miyamoto had talked about the idea of a friend just bringing over their own Gamepad for multiplayer, but people without that luxury who would just want to purchase a second one would find themselves spending an addition $150 or so. It's much better not to implement these features for the launch software because of the prohibitively high cost of the extra peripheral and NSMB wouldn't benefit from the extra Gamepad.

Forget Reggie's last name. I messed up, but my point stands. i never trusted anything his says unless it comes from the mouth of someone who has actually involved the making of the system...and even then.
No what i meant by the time they get to that point if they even do, it will not be new and it wont have much of an impact. Cause people might have gotten tired of waiting.
SO its too expensive to sell on its own, fair enough. Thats no excuse to not have the system itself utilize two ESPECIALLY if someone who owns a WIi U can just take the tablet to a friend's house and use it their. Its not a luxury its common sense, I can take my PS3 controller and Wiimote and use it on my friends PS3 or Wii why cant I do that with the gamepad? makes no sense, not even use the functions just use it as an actually controller, IMHO this sends the wrong message.
