I think that's the big issue, people don't realize that the gamepad is a regular controller.  There is no difference from the gamepad than the xbox 360, and ps3 controllers, other than the touchscreen, and you don't even need to use the touchscreen.  

First off I wanted to say that this was a much better response, simply saying that all the wiiU gamepad brings to the table is inventory/map, and then asking me what other features there are, and then before I even say anything you assume my response is "none." That is rude, and lacks imigination, if you really can't think of anything besides inventory/map/off-screen play, then you clearly have no imagination, and thus made me feel that your comment was idiotic and that you hadn't played any of the wiiU games.  My more rude comments were 100% based off of your last line and how you answered your own question.

Moving on.  You say that tablets don't need extra buttons, and I do agree, this is largely true, you can program buttons on the screen using multi touch.  However, there are some experiences that are just uncomfortable.  Lets take the animal crossing game on Nintendoland(you say you've played the wiiU, so I assume you have tried this game, if not, please tell me, I wont be rude, I just need to know if I need to explain this game to you)  But the the point of this game is being able to run at the other animals, with 2 different guards, and when near them, you have to quickly tackle them with the ZR/ZL buttons, it's easier to have your thumb on the front and your index fingers on the back, imagine having to have your index fingers and thumbs on the front?  Wow that sounds uncomfortable, and that is just one example of buttons being necessary.

You next move on to talk about being able to do things on the ps4 away from your home with the vita.  And I completely agree wtih that, however, unless the vita is bundled, not many will have vita's, and thus it won't be something that is largely supported, and even if it was, it won't have a huge effect on wiiU sales.

In response to what I bolded, you didn't mention anything from that paragraph in your initial argument.  If you said that in a different post that's fine, but I am only referring to your original response to my original statement.

I do agree that tablets and vita's can offer different experiences that the tablet, but I believe that the wiiU offers much better experiences by either offer a tablet with buttons, or by bundling this tablet with every wiiU and thus every wiiU owner will have a gamepad and all wiiU games will offer gamepad experiences.

I was actually not talking about the Vita at all when I was describing what you could do when away from the console.

Sony showed Off-TV play with the Vita, but everything else that I described was shown on tablets, which is something hundreds of millions of people (1B+ according to the link I provided earlier.)

Also, when I said "None", I was speaking of features exclusive to the touchscreen itself. Like throwing ninja stars, controlling the batwing, inventory, maps, etc.. things that would require the gamer to have a touch enabled screen readily available.

Yes, you may be right that the WiiU provides a better overall experience when it comes to that total package, but people will not believe that until they prove it, and as of now I see nothing on the horizon to make it think it is. Pikmin doesn't look to show that, neither does Zelda WW or the multiplats coming later in the year.

From what I have seen, maybe Wonderful 101 will be the game to show me. I certainly hope so as I think that game looks phenominal.
