I just want to add that the Wii U streams a 1080p image onto the GamePad's 480p screen 100% of the time even when the graphics are only 720p.

When U use 2 GamePad controllers at a time, the Wii U then only streams 2 different 720p images onto the 2 480p displays, but Nintendo said this will only be use when only 2D sprites are being displayed on the touch screen for 2 players.

What do you mean? Are you saying 1080p is flying through the air to the wii u gamepad?

Nintendo confirm that they stream 1080p onto the GamePad at 60 fps when you use 1 GamePad. Well that's what both them and the rest of the media has been saying. I don't see why Nintendo would lie about such things.

The gamepad screen is not that high of a resolution. If Nintendo said that, they meant the console down samples the 1080 video and only streams what is needed. It's much, much smarter and even of better quality than what you're proposing.
