If you love Nintendos own IPs or have a good Gaming PC, the Wii U is actually also a very worthwile first console.
The Advantage of the Wii U instead of a Xone (if you got a PS4) or a PS4 ( if you got a Xone) as secondary console is that almost no games will be duplicated between your consoles and each can thus provide you with a very distinct experience. Having both a Xone and a PS4 duplicates way over 90% of their gaming catalogue (mind you, this can be an advantage to get the games you like at the cheapest price by comparing pricetags and abusing sales) and just a handful (not even so much as of right now, but later on for sure) of exlusive titles to really distinguish both consoles and gaming experiences.
