every company is releasing what they release because they had no better idea. we would also have another ps3 and 360 if those companies would have a better idea but the best idea they could think about was ps3 and 360.
i don't think they thought "uhh man we have no idea, gamepad is not great but better as nothing", i think they thought "we have those hundred concepts and that is the best" or so.
maybe the idea was really bad or maybe awesome but i think nintendo really liked it.
