Actually there's something to what you say here.
The motion tech for Wii was obvious. Why you want a tablet-screen is not obvious.
My theory (which I've said at length elsewhere) is - the 2 big hooks for the Wii U are
1) Local Multi-Player Asymmetrical Play
2) Immersion into the gaming world for Single-Player
...After thinking long and hard about the benefits and possibilities of a tablet-touch screen controller, these are the two real contributions to gaming it brings.
Everything else it does ranges from gimmicky waste to good. But the above 2 are Great. And that's what I sell to the world if I'm Nintendo. I'd reduce the Wii U to just those two things for marketing purposes, put just those two things in focus. The rest is just gravy.
