Should Nintendo offer an optional WiiU SKU without the Gamepad?

[NintendoPie]

It would be nice for Nintendo to go back in time and look and see if a WiiMote+/Nunchuck combo instead of the Gamepad would've worked better. If it ends up flopping, then there's obviously something else wrong with the Wii U.

*Hint* It would still end up not doing too hot.
