I gotta ask: who are these people that want to play with the Pro Controller over the Gamepad? Do they really exist or are they merely (one of) the spear point(s) that fanboys use to discount the console in general (up there with grousing about Bayonetta 2 and the state of some ports having full HD and 60fps)*? Cause, seriously, who wants *less* functionality?

*And Nintendo has it primarily to head such criticism off at the pass.

Nintendo is adding the pro controller as a shifter to get the Playstation and Xbox owners to  come to the Wii. The body is similar to what the 360/PS3 owners are used to because Nintendo wants the more serious gaming crowd to take the Wii U seriously. The Wii sold well commercially but in the gaming community, it wasnt as well recieved.
