What they should do is use it as command input in combat. That would greatly improve the speed since you won't have to scroll through the abilities anymore

But I only have 2 hands =P

Seriously though I dont want to have to take my hand off the gamepad each time I want to select my attack and Im not holding it with 1 hand for an entire fight.

They could position the touch areas close to the thumbs.

What they also could do is make combat completely controllable via touch. Like tracing your finger to move and tap on enemies to attack. Though that way you wouldn't be able to look at the big screen anymore^^

Bayonetta has some of this.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq3Z7MoMSs4     (Starts 10 minutes in)   She is looking down on the gamepad but there is a cursor point on the big screen. Maybe it could be possible to use as intuitive as a mouse.
