That's what Nintendo is telling us but no hardcore gamer is going to use the pad for a seriously intense game.

That is such a BS excuse. Game developers understand the issue and are working around it. That doesn't mean it isn't a problem.

Complete BS statement.

Gamepad is just as comfortable, with the same buttons and features. At this time I have zero interest in buying a pro controller and will game mostly with gamepad (where screen is utilized) or wiimote/nunchuk where it makes more sense.

In fact, the one reason why I might by a procontroller as I'm betting VC games that need a classic controller will also use pro at somepoint and that would be simpiler than having a wiimote in my lap with a classic in hand.

Nintendo made the pro controller for the specific reason stated in the post you quoted along with the ability to please a small number of users who fear change. Which is odd as the gamepad has the exact same layout of buttons.

I disagree but I guess we can only wait and see.
