Wii U CPU specs

I'm disappointed to hear they will only have two tablets being able to run concurrently because of bandwidth issues:

"According to Nash, bandwidth issues associated with having four concurrent streams coming from one Wii U machine to four GamePad screens stamped out the idea of support for four GamePad controllers."

That means two player games instead of four and I'm wondering if that will affect online interaction as well.

"But at the moment it's purely limited to processing and signal transmission bandwidth and a combination thereof."

Someone wrote in the comments that Nintendo did the same thing with the Gamecube and the developer kit was only half as powerful. We will see.

Seems very strange to go from four controllers to just two. Even the n64 had four controllers

Actually, I read that their new game Nintendo Land showcases what you can do with the Wii U (like Wii Sports did for the Wii) and supports up to five controllers. Four Wii controllers, and one Wii U controller are used. So it isn't reducing the player count, it just isn't upgrading all of the controllers.
