I think the only reason Nintendo is not removing the GamePad is because they have millions in storage somewhere and not selling them would be a waste. They probably accepted a GamePad-less sku wouldn't help the Wii U sale more than the One or even PS4. But now that they're stuck with millions of GamePad-Wii U and slow sales, they are finally preparing software that will justify their expensive controller.
I love Nintendo but they really screwed up their market share business this gen.
