I feel like this would be a good move for a future design of the system. They would have to continue to make sure that it wasn't multitouch because that would mean enhanced capabilities and fragmenting the fanbase if developers take advantage in future games. However I would like it because after playing with it a little it did seem a little unresponsive compared to my phone.

Why do we keep getting these threads from people with no experience in the hardware engineering field second guessing the professionals? The Gamepad has 2 analog sticks, 1 d-pad and 12 buttons within reach...what would be the point to a multiple touch screen? Could you make a game that requires it...yes, but why when you have all the other controls to utilize?...I have a touch screen phone, a 3DS, a Vita, an iPad 2, an iPod Touch and my wife has an iPhone and a Kindle Fire....the touch screen on the Gamepad is very responsive and works great ....no complaints from me at all. Why don't you go out and buy a new game to play instead of being an armchair engineer......Same goes for all the people that complain about the 3DS not having 2 circle pads.....you knew this before you bought it, so stop complaining about it and start enjoying the games. With all the crap that goes on in this world, people find the stupidest little things to complain about.

With the 3DS, Nintendo did come out with an attachment to add a second circle pad, so that isn't the best comparison.

Actually it is. People were expecting Nintendo to add a second circle pad to the 3DS XL and weren't happy when they didn't. Only a couple of games benefit from the add-on and the last thing I want to see is the video games companies building in anything in their revisions that fractures their user base. Microsoft could have put the HD-DVD drive in the 360 Slim, and let publishers release games on HD-DVD's, but what about the people without the drive? The video game companies have to develop for the lowest common denominator or release a game specific to an add on (Kinect, PS Move, Circle Pad Add-on etc...). I do not think that it would be a good idea not Nintendo to release a revision of the 3DS with 2nd circle pad or release a revised Wii U with multi touch screen. If they want to incorporate those features into the successor for these systems, fine but not in a revision of them.
