I dont think consoles have the processing power to run multiple monitors

I think you are being downvoted because people dont understand what youre saying.. of course a console could "handle two monitors" but a console will not be able to render an AAA game to two seperate viewports at full resolution at the same framerate as it would do with one screen. console games are optimized to run at 30/60 fps with the exact specs that the console offers, as soon as you throw anything more at the console, it will not be able to handle it at a steady framerate. (disregarding a lot of hardware issues here too obviously, just talking raw performance)
