The tablet offers a unique experience and selling point for the system compared to its competition. The only problem with the tablet is that Nintendo failed to have enough unique games that sell the experience at launch. Trying to sell a Wii U without the tablet would under cut what Nintendo is trying to do with the system and its plans for future games so selling the Wii U without the tablets is a bad idea.

Nintendo SHOULD however consider selling Wii U tablets separately but I suspect their desire to curb piracy and not wanting people to suspect or want multiple tablets to one Wii U system is why they took the stance of selling the tablet only with the system. Time will tell if they are making another mistake like they did with the storage formats of the N64 and GC.
