Gamerace said: Nintendo understood that dual analog controller was what was keeping the general public from games. So they removed that limitation with the Wiimote. Now they have put it back in the gamepad. WTF?? Worse they added a touch screen. You might think that's a good idea, it's casual friendly, but it's a terrible idea because to a casual non-gamer, it now looks like a tablet controller. Tablets are cool! Except it's not a tablet. There's no apps. No free games. It's single touch. It can't go anywhere (outside the house). Can't do anything except play games and watch tv. So in comparison to a true tablet device the WiiU looks like a bad value. It's a value equation Nintendo can't win so they should never have put themselves into that equation. They should have made a better Wii.

It's not a tablet, but don't underestimate the amount of non tech savvy adults who think "eh, its close enough", and on top of that, be a nice tablet alternative for their kids who have been begging for one. The Wii U gamepad can be viewed basically as an (imitation) early entry tablet. As far as apps, I wouldn't count that out either, as no one has any idea what nintendo has planned with their monstrous 1 GB of ram for OS features.
