Uhhh k. Everything you said is there with the exception fo the pro controller. I don't understand why so many people think they should ditch the gamepad. There is nothing wrong with the gamepad in the slightest. After having the system for nearly 2 years now, when I play my brothers 360 or my buddies PS3 I am often trying to quickly and easily change weapons with the tap of an icon on the edge of the gamepad as opposed to toggeling through to find what I want or pause and then find it. Those are the majority of games I play at their places so that is the biggest change so far, but when I'm at home, half of the time I am playing solely on my gamepad due to my wife watching TV. Not to mention a bigger map that is often more detailed with many games, but the biggest thing is for quick switch items or item usage on many games like MH or UnEpic, COD, Splintercell, Batman ect ect. 

They certainly dropped the ball on the name and the marketing, but I don't think the issue here is the gamepad. My brother didn't know the Wii U was a new console, he thought the gamepad was a peripheral to the Wii, that is entirely due to terrible marketing and not informing the customer base. They could have worked much harder at changing the look of the machine in comparison to the Wii as well, that might have helped. I'm not saying this is difnitive, but it's my experience with it anyway.
