It's an interesting question. Microsoft performed well this E3, showing off a few new exclusives. The problem, as always, is that "exclusive" does not always translate to "great."
Right now there are too many question marks with Microsoft's first-party software. 343 Industries has yet to prove itself as a capable steward of the Halo franchise; The Coalition, formerly Black Tusk, is untested; Rare is 15 years removed from its glory days; Lionhead is working on a free-to-play Fable game; and so on.
Xbox One does have a lot of interesting third party games, but the vast majority are available on PS4. There are exceptions, of course. If we remove PC from the equation, as you suggest in the OP, Xbox One is the only place to play 8th gen versions of Titanfall and Ori and the Blind Forest. Plus there are other intriguing games on the horizon, including Scalebound and ReCore, both made by geniuses in the field.
But, overall, Wii U has a more impressive line-up of exclusive games, past, present, and, probably, future. So, to sum up: those who already have a PS4 would be better off choosing a Wii U as their secondary console. Why? Because the majority of must-play games on Xbox One are available on PS4 (where they probably look and perform better) whereas Wii U supports a sizable collection of must-play games available nowhere else.
