Will Nintendo expand on 3D / Gamepad or drop them?

I want them to drop both and just make a console with no gimmicks and up to date hardware for the first time in 14 years

14 years includes gamecube which was > ps2 by a long shot. I don;t kwnow hy you guys consider them gimmicks and want them to do what the others do. I'm sorry but 3 consoles that play exactly the same are a waste of time. Yes they could use the power but keep the pad and keep the 3d. What's the point of improving on 3d just to drop it 2 years later? Its going to be backwards compatible which means 3d will stay same with the pad. Tell me this. What advantage does dropping the pad and 3d give? and if you say hardware boost I'll just point out that gamecube didn't get much support either even though it had power.
