No and I refuse based on principles. I feel Nintendo's direction is anti-consumer. It makes no sense to own two consoles. Would you buy an extra blu-ray player just to be able to play Sony-published movies? Of course not, because it makes no sense to you as a consumer to shell out money for an extra device that is principally the same as the one you already own.

The problem is that Nintendo's value proposition is laughably weak. In order to play Nintendo exclusive games I am forced to accept a tablet I don't want, forfeit any upcoming third party title I may want to play all for the "low" price of 299 USD. For just 100 more I can own a PS4 or XB1 which not only plays my third party games but is also capable of higher resolutions.

Does the above make any sense to the average consumer? No, the average consumer buys the XB1 OR the PS4, not both. The only time it makes sense to own a Wii U is if you don't care about third party games and you absolutely crave Nintendo titles.
