The Nintendo Wii U tablet-style controller will not be sold separately from it new HD console?

Makes sense, imagine if a soccer mom goes to Gamespot to buy Little Jimmy a WiiU and when the clerk asks her if she needs any extra accessories to go with her new purchase she sees that U$100 controller price tag? Easiest way to run your customer to the PS3 or X360 aisle!
