Are you serious bro? You need your eyes checked out or something.

As a person who owns a Dualshock 2, 3 and 4, Xbox360 controller and the WiiU gamepad - I strongly disagree with you.

Controller size makes a huge difference when playing action games and fighters - especially when you played those genres under controllers that have a similar setup in which case the DS3/DS4 and the Xbox 360/One controllers cater to.

The WiiU gamepad is bloated thanks to the screen and the buttons specifically the L and R trigger/pads are farther than they should be. The analog stick is also poorly placed apart thanks to the "innovative" screen.

If you think the Gamepad is like a traditional controller you are in serious denial - Ya it may have the same buttons but the placement is awkwardly spread apart. The damn screen is almost the same size as the DS4 and the Xbox360 controller!

Edit: Traditional controllers dont have a giant ass screen in the middle pushing the button layout further than it should be henceforth its not a traditional controller - so dont even call it a traditional controller. The last "traditional" primary controller that Nintendo had was the Gamecube controller. They fixed it somewhat with the pro controller but thats an extra, not a primary controller.

 

I see mostly the same inputs in roughly the same places, and I play games on them in the same ways. Is it as good as the PS4/XB1 controllers? Probably naw, but that doesn't mean it's not a traditional controller. It's literally just a normal controller with a screen on it, accept it already.
