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

so next gen will have two whopping gamepads to use instead of just one? Doesnt seem worth it IMHO

I can see multiplayer aspects benefitting from this especially co-op games and we may see 4 Tabs tbh, the U is like 2-3 times the power of the previous gen while the PS4 and X1 are like 12 times the power so even if their next console is only twice the power of the PS4 in the next gen they'll easily have the hardware to run with multiple Tablet controllers as the hardware needed to do it is already in use this gen.

I agree with Spemanig that we'll see a revision in design but the Tablet is going to be standard as unlike the Wiimote it doesn't hamper traditional play at all I even use it to play Bayonetta 2 with no trouble.

You are missing my point. Im not arguing that there is no benefit. thats really irrelevant. Im arguing that it seems really expensive to get it to a place that doestn suck. How long has the Wii U been out? you still cant buy the pad seperate and there is no firmware to allow for more than one. Even if they did all what you said they will still end up with a system that might be too expensive for a Ninty console.
