If only there were a hardware manufacturer that didn't develop very powerful hardware, instead investing in, say, a new input system to broaden the possibilities without adding much of a burden.

"new input system"? Are you talking about the WiiU tablet controller... a rehash of the 9 year old Nintendo DS concept, only with bigger screens?

 

2. Yes, but what's wrong with it being borrowed from the handhled market? Especially since no comprable gaming console used the idea in the eight year period between the DS and Wii U launches.

There is nothing wrong with the controller of the WiiU. But Nintendo fans are wondering, why the "new input system"-formula doesn't work this time to generate a great demand.

But most people don't see the big innovation anymore in using a touchscreen or combining a controller with a touchscreen or adding a second screen. It all has been done before. Touchscreens are everywhere and even using several screens becomes normality... and if you want it or not: tablets and smartphones do "count" in the perception of the masses.
