Should Nintendo offer an optional WiiU SKU without the Gamepad?

I don't see how this solves the Wii U's problem... It has a slim game lineup... and quite frankly looks like a dead console to prospective buyers... Compare the release list to something like the PS4, and it's obvious why people aren't buying it.. The Wii U's failure is largely on it's lack of software. It's a joke.
