Another WiiU/Vita "what happened, what could have been thread". I imagine the WiiU and the Vita in a bar, drinking their sorrows away, talking about how great their predecessors were and how envious they are of their sister consoles.

And yes, the name was awful. It could have been easily called the Super Wii, the Mega Wii, Wii Twoo, or something like that. The gamepad had to be advertised, it's WiiU's main feature to differenciate itself from the competition.

Obviously the gamepad needs advertised, but it doesn't need center stage. They should focus more on what the console can do rather than a fancy controller.

That's the thing though. The Wii U, on a technically level at least, can't do anything that PS4 and XB1 can't already but twice as betterms so the innovative game pad has to be the main gimmick to woo people in. I also agree that many Nintendo fans can be quite elitist. Not as friendly as their main console of choice would assume but there's dicks in all camps anyways.
