I would have gone with more of a evolved version of the Wii Remote+Nunchuk into something more like a standard Gamepad design with motion controls for the the successor to the Wii console. Essential like two Nunchuk controllers which can be connected to make up standard controller one moment and then discounted the next to mirror the existing Wii Remote+Nunchuk setup. Just add motion Plus sensor and 4 face buttons to the right Nunchuk and D-pad to the left and it will have all required buttons of a gamepad with the added benefit of motion controls all in one.
This lower cost alternative to the Wii U controller could mean a console either closer to the X1/PS4 in terms of specs while retaining the same price or a lot cheaper console with the same existing Wii U technical specs. This to me would be a better direction for Wii 2 console to be a more successful console.
But saying all that I still believe that Nintendo went with Wii U design fully knowing that it wouldn't be massive success like the Wii. Instead deciding to take the initial risk/hit in sales so they can use the Wii U as testing grounds to future Tablet Nintendo consoles.
