As for Wiimote + ProController combo, IMO that would be way better solution than Gamepad - instead of better innards they spent that money on something that is not such a system mover as they hoped for and by not having Wiimote as default, they denied themselves Wii Sports alike launch titles that proved to be main force behind Wii's success. |
Technically, the Wiimote is still the default controller for multiplayer games and the system had a Wii Sports alike launch title in Nintendoland.
The Gamepad was Nintendo's way of having both a innovative/original controller and having one that 3rd party developers could use for multiplatform games.
