Well the WiiU is my primary console and personally I'm pretty satisfied with it. I'm thinking about a ps4 down the line.

I think if the wiiU makes a good secondary console as well comes entirely down to the kind of gamer you are. Do you like Nintendo games and want to play them? There. WiiU is the perfect secondary console for you.
Lets be honest here for a second, the Xbox and the Ps4 share significantly more overlap with each other than they do with the WiiU. If you want the broadest possible gaming expierence out of two consoles, you should go with the WiiU.

However if you don't like the kind of games Nintendo makes, the WiiU would be a horrible choice for you, seeing that at this point Nintendo first party is basically it's sole selling point.

Now why anyone would want a ps4/xbox one setup is a mystery to me, unless you're an avid Halo fan that for some reason went with the ps4 at launch, or you just want that 1080p multiplat experience on the ps4 but got the xbox at launch....maybe? None of the two have enough must-play exclusives to warrant buying them both at the moment imo.

As it stands I'm personally the least interested in the Xbox, it has, as of this E3, three games I'm potentially interested in and those are Ori and the blind forest, Cuphead and the new Keiji Inafune ip. Those don't justify a console purchase for me though.

There is more to XB1 than Halo and more to PS4 than 1080p multiplats. I have all 3 consoles and I like PS4 and XB1 more than Wii U. Sony and Microsoft are making tons of exclusives which turn my attention away from PC multiplats. Wii U had a stellar 2014 but after that it has become worse than 2013 with only Xenoblade Chronicles X being a game that interests me coming out this year and it has Zelda in 2016. That's all that really interests me on the system.

PS4 already has Infamous: Second Son and Driveclub which I've really enjoyed a lot. XB1 has Forza Horizon 2. And both these systems have just got started with the exclusives.

Yeah I sort of made a broad statement there to illustrate my point, but in a way you seem to actually agree with me. You're just one of those people that get more out of the Xbox/ps4 combo than I ever would. I honestly forgot about forza horizon 2 because I have zero interstest in it (my bad :/, but your post reminded me of sunset overdrive, which I kind of liked).

To me, all of those exclusives, although diffrent games are still similar types of experiences. One or the other series might be exclusive, but to me that doesn't really matter that much because they resembled each other to begin with. They are more similar to each other than to the ones on wiiU. That was my point.

You don't seem to get that much out of platformers and even Nintendo games at large judging by what you're excited for on the U. I guess the type of experience ps4/Xbox provide is just more to your tastes. So to you having a WiiU as a secondary console might not make much sense. Like I said it comes down to the types of games you wan't to play. For me, that has to include a Nintendo console because I get the most out of their games.
