I think Nintendo could have saved Wii U and have been profitable.

The big problem with the Wii U (besides the name of course) was the tablet controller, which didn't have many games that took advantage of it and was an unnecessary burden on the Wii U's overall cost

Stop it. Right. Now.

U pad necessary for: Paper Mario Color Splash, StarFox Zero, Fatal Frame V, Super Mario Maker, Splatoon, Wonderful 101, Xenoblade X, Nintendo Land, Zombie U, Lego City Undercover, Kirby Rainbow Curve, party games

Great advantage for: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, Hyrule Warriors, Mario Kart 8, WindWaker/TwilightPrincess HD, Smash Bros 4, Deus Ex HR, Batman, Mass Effect 3, Pikmin 3.

OffTV play: killer feature for other games and VC games.

But you can hardly call them taking advantage of the gamepad. Something like Splatoon, Starfox Zero, Zombi U made completely useless use of it. How did the gamepad was used in Smash Bros? I have the game, but right now can't think of how it was used in the game - if at all. And how did Lego City Undercover use the gamepad? I have that game too, but can't remember how it was used.

Off TV play was a good feature, though a Wii U without the gamepad had done better.
