I stopped reading after that.

Why? Name the games that absolutely need the gamepad and I believe Miyamoto stated it adds close to $100 on the console. There is nothing inherently wrong with that statement.

Name a game that absolutely needs analog sticks.   And if you now tell me "racing games need them" I will tell you that every SHOOTER needs a mouse and keyboard combo.
