This with a revised Gamepad. Ergonomically improved and if neccessary with smaller screen, more Pro Controller parts (shoulder buttons). Cost reduction of the console itself with a die shrink, mainboard revision and so on. A die shrink, less power consumption etc. would as well reduce the cost of the PSU.
Get rid of the Gamepad PSU as well. Just a USB loading cable.
That way the whole mainboard with all parts should get much cheaper, the main PSU should get a little cheaper, they'd get rid of cost of the Gamepad PSU. Away with the Gamepad loading craddle as well, just keep the small stand, make the box a little smaller and slightly cut shipping costs this way.
As for the Gamepads features, i think that all could stay. If there's a more or less unneccessay one (i actually like) it's the tv-remote. There are other ways though to cut costs and improve ergonomy.
other stuff Nintendo could do but wont have effect on Wii U's cost are further improving the OS speed and reducing the OS's memory foortprint. I really dont see why it eats up 1GB and is so slow at the same time.
