I actually agree that people didn't want to upgrade to a 3DS because of the stereoscopic 3D.  I argue that most people don't want to upgrade to the Wii U because of a super expensive super controller. 

The difference here is that unlike stereoscopic 3D, the controller is actually capable of enhancing/changing the gameplay experience itself.

This is true, but the system will only have one tablet controller included and we can only imagine how much another will cost.  The Wii was all about getting a group of people together playing and having fun.  With the Wii U, two people will be able to experience the awesomeness of the controller if you have a lot of money.
