Not even gonna read the OP, just the title.
FUCK NO!
The Gamepad adds value. Off TV play is a feature I can no longer be without. Its browser has replaced my need for a tablet. The one game that proves it can serve a distinct game play value is ZombiU to me as it adds a real physical layer to the distraction and anxiety of the game experience.
Only negative I see is the battery life. Once the rumored bigger battery comes out later this year... I'm good.
