Interesting if this is real. I was thinking about this the other day, if I were Nintendo I'd remove the tablet controller of the Wii U to reduce the price, and sell it as an independent device, fully compatible with the Wii U but capable of working on it's own.
Then, implement an account system to be able to download all your Wii and Wii U Virtual Console (and DS) games you already bought to the tablet. I know I'd get that!
One problem I see is that it may end of cannibalizing 3DS sales... maybe. Still I'd be really interested if they make something like that.
