My guess is that Nintendo will be the ones to come out with the first game that utilizes two gamepads and will bundle it with the controller to help offset the price. It will be similar to Wii Fit in that most people didn't see it as an $89.99 balance board purchase, but rather, a "Wii Fit experience" purchase. I think Nintendo would be wise to do the same here with the gamepad/new game.
And since it likely wouldn't release until the 2013 holiday at the earliest, the gamepad might cost a bit less to manufacture by then and could possibly retail with said game for $99.
