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.

I dont see how ditching gamepad have anything with this.

If sales of the Wii U where a little better, there would be no need to release the next console so soon. Right now there are ruors that by 2016 the NX will be ready to launch, the wii U sales are so  low that it was required before people forget about nintendo. If the price was lower, it can jump start thouse sales again at least to let the NX drop untill 2017. Not to much but tis at least 5 year life span on the wii u and that would be at least tolerable.

No, if Wii U sales are much better (not little) then there would be no need to realase the next console so soon, and ditching gamepad in this point basically wouldn't change anything.

That would done more harm than good. Yes, $200 Wii U would be sell little better, but in this point that basically wouldn't change anything. Do you realise how much Nintendo would need to spend money and resources on branding, marketing and changing all games that require gamepad!? They would loose more money than they would earn with ditching gamepad and Wii U would still be worst selling Nintendo home console.

Nintendo home console usually have life span of 5 years, so one year less dont change anything. Original Xbox also had life spain of 4 years and we all know how Xbox360 was successful.
