Buy a Wii U right now ... sure if $250-$300 is no big deal to you. 

If price is an issue, one can always buy a refurbished Wii U from Nintendo for $200, and get what is practically an open-boxed, new, console with a one-year warranty. There are also bundles for $225 and $235. In fact, Nintendo has a Windwaker HD bundle for $235.

Honestly, if one can justify purchasing five games, I think the Wii U is worth the $200-300 they'll pay for the console, plus a free game or two. 

Considering that it is highly unlikely that the NX will be backwards compatible with all Wii U games, I think there isn't any issue with buying a Wii U and then waiting for NX to build up its library before purchasing one.
