That's not the point. Manufacturing costs for the gamepad made it so that concessions had to be made by Nintendo to the overall horsepower of the Wii U and keeping the retail cost of the console from skyrocketing. Funny enough the Wii U isn't that much cheaper than the PS4 (and recently the Xone) and Nintendo has yet to sell a standalone gamepad. I think given the choice most 3rd parties would have asked for Nintendo to drop the gamepad in favour of making a more powerful console. But perhaps you will argue that case.
The touchscreen on the DS4 is essentially a replacement for the "select" button on the DS3 because that button was replaced by the share button. Sony just decided to add in a small touch element to the select button which in this day and age probably cost them nothing.

If horsepower had been the problem, then all the 360/PS3 multiplatform games would have arrived before support dried up due to third parties moving on to X1/PS4 development.

You didn't understand his point. Read again.
