I currently do not own any of the next gen consoles (including the Wii U), mostly because I am patiently waiting to see how things develop as the new generation progresses. Both consoles are fairly impressive in their own right, however as to what games will be released on them, how their hardware issues (which are pretty prevalent at the moment from what I've read) will be addressed, and how the industry will evolve with the consoles is what will be the deciding factors for me as to whether or not I buy any of them. The latter reason is the one I am most concerned with. I haven't liked the direction the modern gaming industry has been going for the past three or four years, mostly because of the unappaulegetic greed and the lack of creativity and innovation. In a way, I feel like gaming has lost its soul, with only small glimmers of hope coming from certain developers and publishers over the years. At the moment I am content going "retro" only after this current gen has run its course, seeing how there is a wealth of games prior to the next gen that are very much worthy of buying and playing. Aside from that, at close to 1250 games in my collection, I will be lucky even right now to ever play them all in my lifetime. Just my two sense on the subject.
