I've been saying this all along and this is why I'm so opposed to the entire gamepad idea. It doesn't appear new or exciting or especially fun to the average consumer. Worse, where the wiimote seemed innocuous and easy to use the gamepad is a direct return to the overwhelming controller (now with motion and touch screen) that intimidated the average consumer from playing console games in the first place.

WiiU only sells itself as 'the system you (the parents) can play (with wiimotes) with your gamer kid (who understands the gamepad but probably doesn't want a WiiU)'. This is of very limited appeal.
