I guess people are not that fussed about multimedia capabilities, since the gamepad is excellent for that. TV guide + browser in your hand > overlay / snapped on tv. The gamepad can also turn your tv on/off, adjust the sound and change the channel either manually or through the guide. It even has a dedicated button for it on the pad and tv remote works without having to turn the WiiU on.
@Munkeh111 yes it supports Netflix amongst others. You can watch on tv or gamepad.
