I agree with you. Two people on my job have PS4's and one of them is so excited about his Xbox One, it's embarrassing. I told one of them I was getting Arkham City on the Wii U and I got laughed at. Anyway, I asked each one of them, on different occasions, what are they buying for their new console. All of them said Call of Duty. One of them wrongly believed that he'd be playing Call of Duty on his PS4 against people that own it on PS3. I quit arguing with him. I'm sure he's learned the truth by now.

What the heck? I just don't see the point of buying a new console now just to play the exact same game. I'm looking forward to Friday like it's Christmas come early because I NEED that new Mario game. NSMBU didn't do it for me at all. When the newer consoles offer compelling content, I'll upgrade and not a day before. Power doesn't equal fun. It never has.

So if someone were to ask you 'Why did you buy the Wii U?' I'm sure you would most likely say 'to play nintendo games'. I dont see how you can view their purchases as embarassing when you are essentially doing the same thing.  That new mario game took a year to come out, I'm sure in a years time there will be that new Halo or that Gran Tursmio and people will have the same reactions as you (in that they would need it).  Those games prove (by being popular through multiple generations) that the PS4/XboxO has games can live off games that dont need power to be fun.  COD is not a graphics beater by any stretch, its a funish arcade shooter.
