The in terms of functionality the UPro is the same as the UPad except without the touchscreen/motion control/NFC sensor and all that stuff.... in other words any game that can use the UPro as it's controller, can also use the UPad. Therefore there is no need to bundle it.

You're 100% right. Only difference in that case would be weight and design.

However, if a game makes no use of the touch screen then what is the point?

What do you mean what is the point... this is about choice. Some games will require or allow the touchscreen to enhance gameplay, some won't. Are you saying if a few games doesn't require it that there is no point to the UPad? or that people should buy a UPro to play those games just because it doesn't have a touchscreen.
