No, first of all because Nintendo in its financial meetings mentioned that they want to increase the appeal of the Gameapad, dropping it wouldn't help.
The introduction of amiibo is another proof.
Games that use extensively the Gamepad in 2015 and beyond.
Minor things like the Pikmin 3 update, where you can finally use the touchscreen to control the Pikmin.
Conclusion: Nintendo won't drop the Gamepad.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
