I disagree with you, while A gamepad is not essential or mandatory to play console games, in this case: the WiiU, the large majority of the games use it in a mandatory way. In order to drop the Gamepad, you would have to rewrite & retool the code of all the games existing, patch them, redo the console OS & even worst drop a unique, differentiating way of playing games for what, maybe a few thousand sales? All the games would have to be retooled, you certainly can see how it doesn't make sense at all. If you simply remove the gamepad on the WiiU, the console does not work. To make the WiiU work without the Pad would take enormous amount of time, money for an hazardous outcome. It takes at least between 1 & 2 years to make a game, so games without the gamepad would start releasing in 2 years, near the end of the WiiU life cycle, can't see that happening or anyone interested in dropping money on such an hazardous venture. I'm sure you can agree with that? |
Not to mention the immense amount of customer confusion that it would cause. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_confusion
