Think of the Wii U tablet less as the successor to the Wiimote and more of the ultimate modern TV remote.
I think that's what Nintendo designed it as -- a living room/small apartment (or Japanese home) companion. It can turn on your TV, control your TV box, play games, swap the game to the tablet screen, surf the internet in a jiff, and beam internet videos to the big screen wirelessly.
It's really not something that's meant to revolutionize the game play per se.
That said from a commercial POV, Nintendo probably would've been better off selling it as an accessory bundled with Nintendo Land for $99.99 (ala the Wii Fit board) and making the base system cheaper or giving the chipset a bigger budget and really leveraging that one year headstart.
