an update to allow users to log in the console without the Gamepad and to use Miiverse without the gamepad just so they can sell the console without the gamepad so it can be cheaper.
Honestly I think that's the sole reason why the console is so expensive right now.
(inb4itwillbeaMASSIVEupdate, no it won't be, it just wouldn't be the intended experience.)

Without the tablet it will be ancient tech with no gimmick. Still a no buy.
The gimmick hasn't a single game that uses it in a fashion that is groundbreaking or even needed. It would cost 1/3 the price of the tablet for the system to feature a followup to the Wii's remote. This would capture the attention of the mainstream and the imagination of gamers watching the E3 press events online. Nintendo has to wow people again-- the tablet is just making people say, "wow, that's too expensive for a current gen console." When Nintendo showed off the Wii remote; everyone knew exactly how it was supposed to work in games and knew in their minds exactly where the technology was going to be in ten years... except Nintendo has chosen not to do what everyone saw as the future (post Wii).
Interface- The console would come with two infrared tracking cameras (like those in the Wii remote) to be placed on either side of the television. There would be one controller for each hand with internal gyros and accelerometers and with infrared grids on the top and bottom of each. Each controller would have two shoulder keys. a)The left handed controller would feature an analog stick in the primary position (with L3 button function), a single analog button to the right and below the analog stick, and start & select buttons directly to the right of the analog stick. b)The right handed controller would feature a flat scroll wheel in the primary position. There would be a single analog button to the left and below the scroll wheel, and there would be two face buttons directly to the left of the scroll wheel. This would leave the player with 9 buttons (not including the start and select keys or power on/off switches).
