Lets face it, the Gamepad for the wii u has got to go. Something MS realise soon enoughf and debundled the kinect. The Wii U has barely crossed 10 mil in theesse 3 years and they themselfs have said that the Wii U is in a bad position. Then they are planing the release of the NX soon, witch will cut the legs of the Wii U inmediatly, wich there are rumors that it might come as early ass 2016 hollidays.
I know this is not the first time someone sugested to get rid of the gamepad, but litsen.
The Wii U will oficially die as soon as the NX gets anounced, not even released, but as soon as nintendo shows what it is and when it might come people will wait for it or skip both.
This will create another sega situation, where they cut the life of a product to soon and people just lost trust on the company. To avoid this, they should separate the gamepad, that way they can reduce the price. inmagine how well a $200 Wii U with a pro controller would sell like. This will at least buy nintendo another year without releasing the next console and consumers wont loose as much trust.
The main reason the Wii U is not selling is the price in my opinion. At $300 its dificult to consider it, while the next best thing is a $350 X1 with much better graphics and full third party suport and multiple bundles going around that offer many free games. Only a die hard fan would choose the Wii U ad theres not that manny of them cuz they havent released manny of their key titles yet, or ever will ass it looks like.
Im all for them seing value in it and all, but its to late. They have barely shown any need for the thing. If they are not even going to try, why force it upon people and jack up the price. At least give the poor console a fighting chance before the next one comes up.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
