Difference between OBIEE and BI Publisher?

If you have OBIEE Suite licence, BI Publisher comes along with the suite as a package. Whereas, you can purchase BI Publisher's licence alone with minimal cost than OBIEE Suite. To consider this, below are the basic differences between two of the Oracle's reporting tools. When your reports are more pixel oriented then BIP is preferable whereas if you are looking more for analytics, graphs, interactive reports, dashboards, etc. then OBIEE is preferable.
Some of more basic differences are as,

OBIEE
OBIEE
For canned and ad-hoc reports
For canned reports only

Non-interactive unless integrated with OBIEE
Not meant for a real time reporting

More for trends, analytics, dashboards, etc.

Drill down is possible
Drill down is not possible
Need DWH/OLAP
OLTP is also preferable
