For pretty much everyone else, the PS4 currently seems more interesting.

The PS4 is definitely more powerful and will thus deliver better graphics etc., but even if someone doesn't care about graphics at all, the PS4 will probably be the better choice for him. Why?

Simply because the PS4 is easily the best-selling next-gen console right now, by a huge margin. Game developers need to make money, so the decision what consoles they develop their games for heavily depends on the popularity/market share of the various consoles. So a console that dominates the market will naturally get the most and best games.

And of course, a console that doesn't sell well will be taken off market/replaced by a successor much earlier than a console that sells really well. The Wii U's lifespan for example will probably not be as long as that of the Wii.
