| Mr Khan said: Bite the bullet and drop the gamepad for Wii U, allowing for a sizable price drop to enter mass-market territory and make the thing per-unit profitable. Build a Wii U successor with a Wii-like mentality where we completely ignore industry standards and go our own way (partnership with Google for Droid OS, though). |
@bolded: Yep. This is what I said in a thread I made a couple of months ago, and I certainly didn't suggest it on a whim, either. I realize that there are some issues to overcome by doing it but the positives that would ensue are just too good to ignore.
Unless Nintendo surprises us at E3 and shows software that proves the Gamepad as a bona fide, mass-market game changer, then offering an additional, cheaper SKU without the Gamepad this holiday (and selling the GP separately for people who want it) is their best option IMO.
