Archbrix.......six months ago I was adamantly against this idea but I'm beginning to think it might be worth trying. It would need to result in a 100 dollar price drop and the gamepad would need to be available for purchase for exactly the difference in price between the SKU, so that if people realise the error of their ways i.e. that the Gamepad is awesome, they can pick one up, without financial penalty.

The user interface could be resigned with a little thought, so I don't think that's a deal breaker.

I think the biggest risks are still, user confusion, trying to convince developers to use the Gamepad if they no longer have to and how to handle legacy games already sitting in shops that require the gamepad i.e. you don't want people picking up a new gamepad-less Wii U with a copy of Zombie U.
