The Wii was tailor made for the non-gaming. Simplistic movement without overcomplicating the process of gaming leading to more people being interested in at least trying out the process. The touch pad requires thought demands at least median understanding of how to use a standard gaming controller. This overcomplicates the process to the gamer and thus is the exact opposite.
In conclusion, the controller was made to attract core gamers to a world built for casuals so they could live in harmony. It will attract core gamers but will force casuals to shy away, which brings Nintendo back to typical Nintendo sales numbers pre-Wii.
P.S.
The tablet is just a glorified inventory box for games.
