Bluestacks is an android emulator. As with any emulator it is very heavy on system resources. In addition, bluestacks installs services that remain active constantly.

For that reason, no, you cannot install 2 bluestacks next to eachother on a system. You might be able to run bluestacks from a different user and be able to have a different profile.

Also, you should not install bluestacks in a virtualbox because that will make it way too slow to be using.

Running Bluestacks inside VirtualBox works.

Out of curiosity I tried to do what OP asked: I created a windows 8.1 pro virtual machine, downloaded bluestacks, installed it and it just runs. The VM has 2048 MB RAM, 1 CPU Core and even without installed virtualbox guest tools speed isn't as bad as you might think. The host machine was a Intel i7 3770K (Ivy Bridge) with 16 GB RAM. So YMMV. But at the time it also had bluestacks running on the host and two instances of android with genymotion, so I think it should be fast enough for many configurations.

Running multiple Android devices on your PC is much easier with genymotion.

I don't know what you want to achieve but if you want to have multiple android devices at the same time on your PC, you could do this with genymotion much easier than having bluestacks inside a virtualbox machine.
