| Mythmaker1 said: I also doubt Nintendo would drop the Gamepad. The 3D could be dropped without affecting the gameplay much, but a good amount of Wii U games rely on the gamepad to function. Even if they did take that setup, I doubt it would have much impact. |
Same could be said about Kinect. Both systems were designed with the peripherals in mind.
With that said, both could be dropped if need be. Microsoft is much more likely to do this though.
Without the Gamepad, the Wii U could probably be $200 with a bundled game. While that wouldn't give Nintendo the gen, it would certainly be selling much better than it is now. Nintendo needs to do 1 of 2 things:
A) Prove that the Gamepad is fun and useful in games
B) Drop it
I like the Gamepad for what it's worth (like Kinect too) but they need to make better use of it besides for just off-Tv play.
