Maybe, but i think the gamepad is not that bad and its an asset for the wii u, and the wii u will probably focus by now on amiibo's compatible games, and we need the gamepad for that

Not really. If they make a GamePad-less SKU, they could just make a new Pro Controller or Wiimote with an NFC chip built into it. I doubt that chip is all that expensive.
