Because I prefer the way games play on the gamepad. I'm completely willing to drop the price of whatever it costs for the gamepad to get one with a console. Chances are it'll have a 720P (especially if the rumor of the Fusion is true) resistive touch display. The tech wouldn't be all that expensive 4 years from now. It really isn't all that expensive now. Then if you could connect up to 4 gamepads to a single device (compatible with the Wii U gamepad) you'd already have two controllers with the same great functionality. (Like you can do now with the Wiimote but with a MUCH better controller.)


I'm talking about from MS and Sony's point of view. Why raise the price just to add something that there clearly isn't demand for?

 

The screen is what adds so much to the price of the gamepad, and they take longer to fall in price than other tech like semiconductors and stuff.


I see your point, especially because Sony would pull a Vita and use the most expensive tech available (which would skyrocket the price). Why do I think they will though? Because there is definitely potential for MANY great things it can be used for, and many series that would be more emersive by using it.
