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.

just a hint. even if they sold the controller at a profit, the retail price would still be bellow $100. that means it costs about $70 tops to manufacture, only $50 more than a regular controller. and as I said, wii u can run any 8th gen game with it's curent specs, raising them would only mean waste of money, like sony and MS did.

My guess is the R&D to make the near latency free wireless video signal transmission work wasn't free. R&D is probably factored into the price of the controller.
That proclaimation at the end is utterly worthless too, lol. The Wii U can run any 8th gen game in the same way the 3DS probably could in theory run any Wii U game (see Mario 3D Land to Mario 3D World). You'd just have the scale the game down considerably.
