Alright, so I am making this thread to address a problem I have been seeing all over the internet

So many people keep asking for a 200$ Wii U that does not include a gamepad, THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN. EVER

If you are one of these people, just stop, you can't even access the system settings without a gamepad, most of the games are not even Pro Controller compatible or require the gamepad to play

I know people say the gamepad is under used, but removing the it would not help this problem at all

WiiU sold 4 million in it's first year and sold 3.6 million in the second year. It's probably one of the few console in history that have sold less in it's second year.... maybe other then the doom consoles like 3DO, Saturn and Dreamcast. WiiU needs a radical change.... like what oh maybe removing the costly gamepad and updating the system to support other controller. The WiiU would instantly drop in price to $199 the implulse purchase price. Just think about a Super smash brother/Mario Kart WiiU bundle at $199 that come with a pro controller it would jump off the shelf. People don't want the WiiU for the gamepad they want to play the game.
