Would You Like It If The Wii U Was A Normal Next Gen Console?

So do you like the Wii U the way it is or would you prefer it if Nintendo went with a regular controller and put those extra recources into the console, putting it on par or really close to the X1/PS4.  Personally I don't know what the hell Nintendo was thinking with this tablet.  That controller costs them so much to make and they have not put out a single game that uses it in a way that makes people think, this is why I have a Wii U.  I'm hoping Nintendo has a game in development that they had in mind when they were making the Wii U, because if they don't come out with a game that uses the tablet to its full potential it will really hurt long term sales of the Wii U.  I would have rathered a normal console that is more powerful, what do you guys think?

The gamepad IS A REGULAR CONTROLLER + extra funcionalities. there's no "extra resources on the gamepad that could be on the console" and wii u is already not far behind the others.

What are you talking about?  That expensive controller cost them $100+ to make, that is a huge portion of their budget for the console, if they went with a regular controller they could have upgraded the CPU or GPU to match or be stronger than the X1/PS4.

Granted I doubt the controller actually costs $100 to mass produce, unless Nintendo is getting a horrid deal on components. More likely Nintendo is factoring R&D costs of developing the controller/streaming technology into the price per controller.
