Will likely have Nintendo's usual superb first-party lineup
Will get some good 3rd party exclusives later in life
Cheaper (Spend the extra $50 for the deluxe though)
Online is free
Backwards compatibility
Wii U Gamepad may offer unique gameplay (Not enough games right now, it's full potential remains to be seen)
Negatives
Unlikely to get any PS4/X1 multiplats
Online system is lacking in comparison to Microsoft's and Sony's services (Albeit it is free)
Hardware is quite weak (Not as big of a gap as Wii - PS3/360, but still quite large)
Doesn't have any CD/DVD/Blu-ray support
Personally, though I know it isn't an option for everyone, but I would say just get both. If you can't, or it would be later in the generation if you did, I would just get whatever one has the games you personally enjoy more.
I don't own a Wii U, but every time I deviated from a Nintendo console, there was a huge hole in my life in the form of Zelda. I always ended up with the Nintendo console in addition to the other company's console, so after PS2, I gave up and have strictly been a Nintendo man, and I have had no desire to deviate from that. I plan on buying a Wii U at some point this year.
Wii U. Hands Down. Sure third party is lacking so far, but with many First party games coming later in the year with potential, Wii U will bounce back.

Sony published the most exclusives last gen. The system will receive nearly all multiplatform games. The library will be considerably larger. I'll likely purchase a Wii U in a few years when the price has dropped and the console has a somewhat decent library.
Besides, now with Smash Bros coming to the 3DS, I can play nearly every big Nintendo series on that instead.

I always have to laugh a little when people say you get free games with Playstation Plus. You aren't getting anything free, you're just paying to rent the games for a certain amount of time.
As for me, the PS4 doesn't really have any games that interest me at this point. I may pick one up at the end of its lifespan, but the Wii U is all I need for now. The moral of the story is to just get what interests you, plain and simple.

If you like all Nintendo games and don't care about lack of third party support then Wii U. If you care about third party titles PS4. Personally I can't go for Wii U because the only Nintendo games I like are the platformers and fire emblem (and pokemon which only comes in handhelds), don't like Zelda, Pikmin ect. So the Wii U just won' t get enough games for me to justify a buying one.
