my point is that people dont really care for the gamepad ANYWAY. sales backs that up. The previous gen specs doesnt help but that isnt even WIi Us biggest problem. Hell its at the bottom of the pole in terms fo problems.

I don't know if the sales are conclusive of the GamePad being extraneous.

Dropping the Gamepad would be detrimental as it would further the misconception that its a peripheral for the Wii. Sure it lowers price for the consumer, but considering the PS4 sales, price isn't whats holding the Wii U back.

IMO its simply marketting. 

Casual popularity is difficult, but it becomes impossible if the casuals don't know about it.

So you are saying sales are bad because it wasnt marketed? it was marketed all holiday and it still got trounced. Im saying its not selling because people dont care about it. YOu think people dont know what it is? Sure they do. The system has been in Gamestops, Targets, Best Buys, Wal marts, just about every major retailer from day one. But people dont care. I think its main problem is is nobody takes it seriously. Not as a gaming machine anyway.

Actually, its the initial marketing and the subsequent follow up that counts, now the system is in a quagmire of negativity and that takes a while to come out off. People are holding out on the WiiU.
