Actually i was reffering more to the system as a whole. The tablet controller clearly doesn't have much mass market appeal, and it already seems to be lacking 3rd party support. At $200 it would probably be more interesting since it would be competing with the PS3(though that won't happen since they would lose money on it), but at $300 it is still a bit to expensive even for people who would buy the system just for Nintendo's franchises.

We dont really know how well the mass market likes the gamepad yet, outside of NSMBU and Nintendo Land there isnt really any titles that appeal to the so called "casuals". Once DKC Tropical Freeze, Mario 3D World, Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros release there will be alot more reason to own the Wii U and we will have a better understanding if people enjoy the gamepad or not. Obviously it doesnt have a Wiimote/motion control type of appeal but not many things do, its hard to tell if hardware is apealling if the software isnt there.

What mass market are you talking of? Because those Nintendo franchises, save for Wii Fit came along for the ride when it came to Wii, they weren't the selling point. Casuals and the blue ocean couldn't give a damn about the next Smash Bros or DK.
