The root of the console war in South Park at least is "On which console will we play multiplayer games online together?" The Wii U is dismissed from this battle because it doesn't have many of the popular multiplayer games targeted at the South Park demographic. That audience wouldn't consider buying a Wii U specifically for Battlefield 4 and Destiny when those games aren't on the system.
I didn't look into the BBT episode but I assume it's a similar situation.
