Here's a way for Nintendo to shave the price of Wii U off by at least $100. Get rid of the gamepad. I know this sounds ludicrous but it could work. I think of it like Nintendo packaging a Wii U with 2 pro controllers and the pro controllers can control the game screen. If you want the Gamepad buy the pack with the gamepad, if you don't buy the one without it. You'll still get to play the games, the old fashioned way if you want. I think Nintendo should try to introduce this idea.
Or... if you want 4 player gamepad play then Nintendo should make gamepads that have limited technology which only transfers game data. It shouldn't do all the stuff the pad can actually do out of gameplay, only what is needed during the game. I think this will push alot more Wii U's out since the cost would go waaaaay down. The gamepad is brilliance but not everybody can pay for brilliance.
