Think about games that primarily use just the touch screen, though. That's probably the single easiest "pick up and play" interface there is. Sure, elderly people won't be paying $299 just to play Wii Bingo, but the functionality of a tablet is there, which is all the rage these days as far as accessibility. The key factor is Nintendo's ability to create those games that do for the WiiU controller what Wii Sports did for the Wii remote. The fact that all of the Wii accessories are compatible and the tablet controller does also feature buttons makes it equipped for all play types from simple to complex.
Personally, the streaming and TV screen/tablet screen interactivity is what gets my imagination going; things like that shuriken demo in the video.
