Of course it matters :p Even if we completely ignore the potentially larger render fields needed, the game has to run twice the models and effects (and several more AI, assuming you aren't playing against people). It being an (almost) perfect 1080p/60fps during the 8 player mode is also what makes the game impressive. If it only had the 4 player mode and the same asset quality, i'd be pretty disappointed with Nintendo.
It being 1080p/60fps obviously plays a roll, but there's more to it than that.
