Because it does nothing but damage the integrity of the console with gamers, sometimes damaging the quality of games by questionable design choices made because of it, and increasing the price of the thing by a significant amount making it less accessible, even for fans. Regarding Ninty's reputation, as if it wasn't already bad enough that the Wii made Nintendo the laughing stock of the industry, the Wii U served as confirmation for people that never took the Wii as a real console that Nintendo in their mind sucked, limiting Nintendo's market by a lot, and making their things a lot harder to market in the long run.

Imagine a Wii U with a normal controller, selling for 250 on day of release, with appealing games that didn't rely on gimmicks and made with Ninty fans of mind, sounds good right? I can say with no hasitation that the Wii U could've sold 15 M by now if that was the case, but Nintendo sucks at making logical decisions and unfortenely it wasn't.


I have imaged a wii u with a normal controller - i got a Playstation 3 and xbox 360 that could play nintendo games. If its that what you want, it would even be better if they go third party and stop making own consoles at all.

The wii u (or wii) at least are individual and special. Even the ps3 was special (got a blueray player which was a big thing in that time). But the new ps and xbox are just middle class gaming pc with expensive games(60-70$) and online fees. They even need game installations and get day one patches.
I like nintendos consoles most scince the always try new things. Otherwhise i would just get a pc.
