We got the WiiU at launch because my sons wanted it and because we already had the Wii. Because of the backward compatibility with both games and controllers we instantly had five player local game compatibility. We picked it up with Super Mario and also Black Ops 2. Over time we have added more games. The kid use the Gamepad a lot. I like browsing with the Gamepad and television on occasion as well. Other than that it is mostly local four play games like Super Mario, Just Dance, Rayman and again the COD type stuff for the kids on two player. The Wii games still getting the most use are Super Mario Strikers and Super Smash Bros. of course.
The old Wii gained used Wii-mote and has become nothing but a streaming box.
We also have a PS3 and I have to say Sony has REALLY stepped up their game in the last 12-14 months. It didn't even play games yesterday. We were just having fun building playlists with the music service they have added. This was while Tomb Raider was downloading in the background for free as part of the Plus subscription we have for the year. They've been adding amazing value and building a very nice online ecosystem that hooks you in. Knowing that there would be several plus games waiting makes it much easier to consider a PS4.
