I completely agree. The Wii U gamepad is in now way as innovative as the Wiimote was back in 2006. We all have tablets, Nintendo was late again.

The Wii U pad is not a tablet. It's a controller with a touch screen. A big difference.

But it looks like one and it has less functionality. And you wonder why Wii U isn't selling well.
