knowing what i already know i feel like...
...an upgraded version of the wiimote would have been A) cheaper and B) more in line with market. the tablet controller would have been a killer peripheral launched a year into the wiiU bundled with a killer app and sold at a profit.
that said, nintendo probably felt they needed to "surprise" again and probably felt more people would want this tablet then anyone really did. it was a gamble. it didn't work out for them but i can't fault nintendo for taking the risk. its quite admirable in a lot of ways really.
