Who is making the right decision? Microsoft or Nintendo?

Why not both?

Microsoft is smart for dropping an optional feature that has few applications.

Nintendo is smart for not abandoning the core aspect of their system that sets it apart from the other systems.

nintendo is doing it right for the gamer. the gamepad is just nice.

Pretty much.

Gamepad is more essential to its respective platform than Kinect as well.

Current efforts suggest not surely? There isn't much notable that uses Gamepad and I see a lot of people claiming it's useless.

@ THE1 - Yeah lets see if they announce some really integrel gamepad stuff!

That's not necessarily nintendo's problem as I see it.  Without the gamepad there's nothing unique about the wii u that sets it apart from ps4 and xb1, in fact it just makes the difference in specs that much more apparent.
