So desperation will lead to even greater stupidity?
I guess it can't be ruled out.

Basically, yes. They arent using the gamepad for any kind of relevent gameplay experience. Right now, there isnt game made or a game being made that makes you say, this is what the gamepad is for.
i can see nintendo looking at this and thinking they need to cut the price of their console to compete, and that can easily be done by removing one of the more expensive pieces of tech in the console, the gamepad. If it isnt adding to the experience why keep it? Thats my guess anyway, and i think that is what iwata was thinking when he said he would evaluate the direction of the wii u after this holiday season.
the smarter thing would be to actually make games that use the gamepad, but I dont nintendo has any idea how to do that...
nintendo made a lot of mistakes on the wii u. How they went from the wii to the wii u is beyond me. Its like they dont have any direction in that company.
