Coming from Hudson Square Research analyst Dan Ernst noted...

"Nintendo said part of the failure of the Wii U has been their failure to create unique gaming experiences for the Gamepad, and that they were making such development a priority for the coming year. However, while many developers are interested in second screen gaming, the concept is not currently central to having fun with video games, and in this regard the Game Pad is more feature than benefit, and given the added cost to the system, it really more of a burden."
