wiiu with out a gamepad for 149$-199$

Incredibly stupid move if so.

why?  the wiiu is selling at horrible rate, even behind the dreamcast, and even the GC is way in front, so it's  obvious consumers don't care for the gamepad and it's only hurting the wiiu from becoming a cheaper console that more people can buy.

The gamepad is required for certain games and features.

Would require a massive OS update and patches for many games.

Plus, why take out one of the key factors that sets your system apart from the competetion?
