If consoles sales are all about the software, then what's the point Wii U's second screen?

A touch screen interface is elegant. Especially for making the console a go to device in your home. It only does everything. But you won't acknowledge that will you.

In response to discussions about my not having a good reaction to the second screen, people were say "software, software, software".  So, in this thread, I was trying to ask and ponder about the issue of software.  I could argue that it isn't just about software, but about the second screen mattering to people.  So then the question is: why does the second screen matter?  So, it would be it isn't just the software, BUT the second screen as an essential feature.

It's simple, not complicated. You buy a Wii U because of the games. The elegance of touch enhances the experience and permits the all-devices-into-one digital life functionallity. It's feature is that it does everything. Why's it so hard to acknowledge that?

That was PS3's slogan and that wasn't working to well for them. I don't see it working for Nintendo either.
