If Nintendo had just gone with the pro controller / wiimote combo (sans touchscreen gamepad), and dedicated their energies toward a stronger machine (essentially making the console of my dreams), they wouldn't nearly sell as many units. What the Wii U does is gets people talking, and adds a unique element that the other 2 console manufacturers can't match (at least at the moment). Sales are everything, and creating a full generational leap [visually] would have hindered that. The way they did things is more appealing to the masses, and it's better for business (even though I feel that Wii U is $50 too expensive).
