The wii U gamepad is a straight up evolution of a traditional gamepad. Its like saying sony only added a 2nd analoge stick to the Vita because they couldn't come up with anything better. The only thing to pit against the controller is its form factor, but in terms of input and gameplay functionality it is the future and Microsoft and sony will follow in one way or the other.

If they could have attached a more gimmicky yet sellable feature to the system, then they would have. So in that sense you are probably right. I always thought there was the possibility that they were planning full body tracking for the Wii 2 but when microsoft revealed kinect they opted to innovate in a different area which wouldn't have them compete or look like a copy cat. but the current outcome is whats best for nintendo fans IMO. They just should have included more power in system and them its selling point would be +New control+next gen 1st games+Next gen 3rd games. The control alone is not enough to sell the system
