They were probably exploring the option tentatively. If Nintendo supports it by default then it costs them next to nothing to support it out of the box as well in the next generation because Nintendo are doing all the hard work. If it works as a game system they'll probably support it better as time passes, maybe even making an official revision and controller. It is probably closer to following in someone elses footsteps than copying, though I suspect had they done it by themselves they may not have supported analogue sticks and physical buttons as well.
Tease.
