At this point I don't know if anything will get me to ever buy a WiiU. Which is sad because I greatly love my Wii.
I am leaning towards getting a 3DS, especially if it continues to have all the same games as WiiU (Mario Kart, NSMB, Mario World, Smash Bros, Fire Emblem, etc.)
It was different with Wii/DS as I preferred the multiplayer nature and motion controls of Wii over single-player hand cramping DS controls but WiiU is more focused on single play with a similar controller, so I might as well save money, and have total off TV freedom with 3DS.
There is simply no announced WiiU game that I can't get a similar experience on 3DS (except X but I still have to finish Xenoblade anyway) that is of any interest to me and I far prefer the wiimote/nunchuk over the gamepad.
However, if they patch WiiU to allow Wii games (with can be played via pro/gamecube controllers) to play off the gamepad (off tv) especially VC/WW titles, then I'd go get one immediately following a price cut.
Endless Ocean in HD or Metroid Prime HD (new in both cases) would be tempting but not enough until WiiU is much cheaper.
