And they saw that the gimmick wasn't attracting players on the Wii U.

You obviously don't have a Wii U...it's no gimmick...now the touch pad on the back of my Vita....that's much more of a gimmick.  The only game I've really used the back touch pad for was Jetpack Joyride and a button would work just as well.
