It is overpriced, nintendo needs to lower the price. If they fear losing money then they should drop the gamepad


Yeah, and make some game unplayable without buying one (ZombiU, Rayman Legends, Super Mario 3D World, Captain Toad, you know... the best games on the system). Nice plan genius. The GamePad is fine, it's a solid controller and even though i have a 32 inch Full HDTV i prefer playing Mario Kart on the GamePad. It's the third best selection to play Smash with (GC controller > Wii U Pro Controller > Gamepad). Also, it's easier to navigate the menus/browser/eShop/MiiVerse with the GamePad. So, just, no.  I don't think the Wii U will ever sell magnificently, but hey, it's already profitable, while MS never ever got profitable with the Xbox brand. Go figure.

They can update these games and the os.

Yes and waste man power on updating old games just to run on a newer system and make the OS run on 2 branch... As a software developer i tell you, it wouldn't work and would be a big waste of manpower and money. Also, you can't force third party developer to update their games to make it work without the GamePad... The GamePad will stay until the next hardware is released, deal with it. They should focus on making the GamePad a better value instead.
