What If Nintendo Sold Wii U For $250 w/o the Tablet?

That was almost 20 years ago, gaming has evolved much since then... the Wii U gamepad might not be essential for every single game, but it does defeat the purpose of owning one if devs cant impliment features for it because not everyone has the tablet controller.

Plus, off tv play is a fantastic feature i really wouldnt want to do without, and i think many others wouldnt either.

Kinda confused as to why off TV play would go away if Nintendo offered a cheaper SKU as an option to some consumers.

I thought you were saying that Nintendo should scrap the controller altogether. Still, the controller makes the console. Without it, we would have 3 generic next gen consoles with little differences.
