Should Nintendo offer an optional WiiU SKU without the Gamepad?

Except the tablet isnt the reason the system is sold at a loss.

CNN has it at $79. I've seen 100 thrown around a few. And with warranty Nintendo fixes it for $90 or replaces it for $140. I'm willing to bet they're losing a lot of money from the gamepad.
