Herein lies the problem. So far Nintendo has not been able to communicate why you need to upgrade. The benefits added by the gamepad are not easily understood when just looking at the system. So far, you have to have the pad in your hands and play Mario chase or something like that to realize the potential. Without that experience, the value proposition is just not that appealing. As others have pointed out it looks a lot to the consumer like a $300 investment to get the Wii with HD.
