UPDATE: It has been almost two months and many things have changed. WIth the under performing launch line ups of 4BONE, buying a Wii U instead makes even more sense.
Take a look at retail exclusives by the end of the year. I think it's obvious who wins.
Wii U | PS4 | XBONE |
Super Mario 3D World | Killzone Shadow Fall |
Ryse |
New Super Mario Bros. U | Knack | Forza 5 |
New Super Luigi U | Dead Rising 3 |
|

||

||

||

||

Now let's look at price. Wii U wins again.
Wii U | PS4 | XBONE |
$299 | $399 | $499 |
What about the multiplat games though? Everyone's a winner.
Game | Wii U | PS4 | XBONE |
Call of Duty Ghosts | X | X | X |
Assassin's Creed 4 | X | X | X |
Watchdogs-nect year |
X | X | X |
Battlefield 4 | X | X | |
Batman Arkham Origins | X*** |
But what about the graphics?
Wii U | PS4 | XBONE |
Great graphics |

Factor in the Wii U gamepad being included at no additional cost, and the Wii U is by far the best buy this holiday.
So if you are planning to buy a PS4 or XBONE at launch, why aren't you getting a Wii U instead?
