A great console hampered by an unnecessary controller.

I can see little reason for the expensive and bulky controller that would justify the cost.

I believe that a console with the WiiU specs and the pro controller for $100 less, with clear marketing would have at least doubled the consoles sales.

No.....Just no. I have to disagree. The "controller" allows for dual screen local multiplayer and once you get used to it, it's brilliant. Not to mention the offscreen play.

While I respect your preferences for the controler, I believe the additional monetary cost and difficulty of use would offput far more people than they would attract by the additional function of the controler.

I respect your view too, but then we just have a Wii with a little more power and it would sell squat compared to the xb1 and ps4. I was put off by it at first, but then I realized how awesome it was. If anything, once more people try it, they will appreciate it too, through word of mouth. I am of the belief that sales will pick up. Precedent doesn't apply in the modern era as much as it did before and the Wii U will become successful.

Cost? It's a cheap tablet that the media have seen fit to call expensive to manufacture. Difficulty of use? Have you used it? My 3 year old daughter can even use it. The largest issue is the confusion of it's dual screen capabilities.
