Both and then some.
Unlike the DS/3DS there are few advantages to having to look at two screens. The TV and gamepad are just too far apart for anything convenient. As a result local multiplayer is the only way to make things shine. The gamepad user however is almost always forced to stupid touch screen stuff and never as as much fun as other players. This is super similar to next gen games using tablets to call in air strikes and the like. The difference though, which is a big one, is the tablet play is designed only for gamers that are away from the system and can't play the full game.
Only thing about the Wii U gamepad that Nintendo has done flawless is off screen play. Heck my Wii U is plugged into the outlet in the closet with no TV for this very reason. However I feel what Sony is doing with the Vita is much smarter. Again it allows the feature to work away from the console but the big thing is that Vita is sold separate. Nintendo could and should have sold the gamepad separately just for remote play.
