The Gamepad has become my preferred method of controlling a game. I don't care that I already bought Deus Ex and played through it enough times to get tired of it and see literally everything, I am buying it again because of the Gamepad and what it brings to the table. I have played my 360 exactly once in the last 2 months and that was to play Halo with a friend for an hour. I don't even have an HDMI cable in it at the moment.
Nintendo has almost always innovated with their controller. The one time that could be argued they didn't was with the Gamecube, but even then they brought in the Wavebird for the first wireless controller. NES -> SNES --> N64 =/= GCN ---> Wii --> Wii U
Selling it without the Gamepad would be idiotic as no developer would care to utilize the main feature of the system. Sony is practically begging developers to try the remote play stuff for their games because they know that if they don't, the devs won't even bother. It's why developers outside of Nintendo didn't try with Wii Motion+, it was an optional peripheral that the majority didn't own.
