Though, other than software, I'm not sure what their selling point could be. Miiverse is awesome, but would be pretty gimped without the gamepad. Other than that it would just be a more powerful Wii, for the most part, and I'm not sure that will be enoguh to appeal to the masses. |
Well we know that the Wii U as is doesn't appeal to the masses either.
Somehow I doubt a $199.99 or $249.99 SKU would make sales lower than they are now.
It's not like the gamepad has to disapear and be banished to Virtual Boy land or something, make a Nintendo Land 2 and bundle it with the Wii U pad with a few new mini-games. No different from how the Wii Fit balance board was sold. Give Nintendo Land 2 free to previous Wii U owners as a thank you for being an early adopter on the eShop.
Sticking with a controller gimmick that isn't selling the system and causes the system to be unncessarily expensive is stupid to begin with.
Sticking with a controller gimmick that is all of the above and also causing your company to bleed money is borderline insane. At least make a profit on the darn thing.
