Things you expect Nintendo learned from the Wii U?

Im not really a fan of the gamepad.

I prefer the pro controller.

My main gripe with it though, is that they used 100$ to make that gamepad.

The Wii U could have been like 100$ cheaper in shops if they had used a normal controller instead.

Sales of Wii U consoles would have been much higher, if throughout its life, it had been that much cheaper.

Surprisingly, I'm pretty down with the gamepad. It's had some interesting uses and off screen play is pretty cool as well. Though I know it's likely the reason for the Wii U being a total failure, and I'm okay with that. It was a nice idea I'm glad Nintendo tried.

If they could have found a considerably cheaper and better solution to forcing the gamepad, I would have had no problem with it.  I like the options that it gives as long as it's used as a support add-on and not a forced gimmick like on StarFox.  I will say though that Nintendo was right about tablet/touchscreen gaming being big; they were just beaten to the market when they were still enjoying the Wii/DS era -- plus they should have probably made the 3DS into their tablet-centered gaming device since it's a naturally portable platform and would have allowed Nintendo to provide a lower price-point.
