I am with u there. Keep the ps4 and stop the console selling buying game. People that do that are always in want and miss out all the time, save and get a second console later.

Keep my PS4 or get a Wii U?

Not actually that important
Don't sell the PS4, play Bloodborne and after that see if you can find someone who wants to trade a WiiU + games you're interested in for a PS4 which will be just in time for Kirby, Yoshi and maybe Splatoon to have come out and MK8's new DLC just around the corner, don't spend any more money on top. Or sell the PS4 but get a $200 refurb from Nintendo and hit GAF/ebay/Craiglist for the games you're missing.
I agree with the sentiment tho, I have all three consoles and if it wasn't for the fact that my PC GPU needs to be updated (still with an HD5850) my PS4/X1 would be totally redundant, especially with uber japanese games now making their way to Steam, it ain't 2007 anymore.

Yep, the right decision would have been to keep a WiiU until Zelda and then sell it and get a PS4.
I would keep the PS4, buy its exclusives (including some indie goodness coming up) and focus on some glorious PC games for a while. The PS4 is entering it's second year, so I am expecting more to come. Selling and buying the PS4 again is just gonna cost extra money. Unless you want some couch multiplayer right away, then only the WiiU will give you that as of now it seems. Otherwise, I would just start saving some money for the U and track those exclusives later on.
Edit: basically this.

I don't understand this part.
Guilty Gear Xrd, Sportsfiend, Towerfalll, Resogun, Sports titles, Samurai Warriors 4, and others are great couch multiplayer games.

If you like lots of bright cartoony looking games get a WiiU. Otherwise stick with the PS4.

I have a PS4... I have more than 30 physical games and my list is growing month after month... Evolve, Dying Light, Battlefield, Bloodborne, Toukiden, FF Type-0... just a few for next two months. I think this year I'll have more than 70 physical games by december (not counting digital ones).
I bought a Wii U... it had a Super Mario game included... I bought ZombiU, Donkey Kong, Super Smash, Bayonetta 2 and Mario Kart 8. I think this year I'll buy for it two games: Zelda and Xenoblade. And that's it... maybe 10 in total at the end of the year.
That's the difference, for me, between PS4 and Wii U.

I didn't even know people did this selling/rebuying thing. It didn't even occur to me to do that.
Even though I play my Wii U more than my PS4, and I also have a beefy PC, I would still keep the PS4 since you've already made the investment and there may be a game you want in the future. Save up and get a Wii U.

Not familiar with your tastes, OP. Games like Captain Toad, DKC, MK8, SSB etc.... have sub zero appeal to me and wouldn't hold my attention for any serious length of time, so I have a hard time recommending a WiiU based off my sensibilities. But if you like those types of games more than what's out or on the horizon for PS4, then, Uhhh, go for it?
Personally, the whole idea of buying a console full price, then selling it later at a loss - at a time when the software library is getting mature and exciting - will always strike me as a bit silly. You did it with Wii U, now you are toying with the idea once again with PS4.
But fine, I'll cut you some slack since you insist you don't have the time and money to keep up. But if that's truly the case, and you have to make a gamer's decision, then I'd have to suggest going with Wii U. It just makes an excellent complimentary platform, simple as that. If you're looking at 2015, just name the number of exciting-looking games on PS4 that you can't get on PC. Then do the same for Wii U. That would be my deciding factor.
If you can avoid selling your PS4, that would ultimately be the better choice. The fact that you're 'frequently' buying/selling consoles suggests that you could make it through your current situation, and save for a Wii U later. As it stands, the exclusive 2015 content for Wii U is impressive alone, and combined with PC... Wow! The only factor becomes time, and it's up to you to find time for your own hobby.

Or Bayonetta, Zombi U and Xenoblade.

Persona 5 is not an exclusive.
It's exclusive to PS.

This. waste of time and money, should you get a Wii U? Yes, but not by using your current consoles as collateral.
Yes it is, we don't have a release window for this yet and while I'm sure it will come out on PS3/PS4 in Japan by the time it reaches western shores I will be it will be PS4 only

Why not just wait for a Wii U price drop? Or the $200 refurbs on Nintendo.com to come back in stock? That way you can keep the PS4 and play those exclusives and have the Wii U stuff too.

Its coming 2015 but most people probably will get it on PS4.
What?
PS4 will get cheaper. Effectively way cheaper. OP can still get a decent price for it right now. And PS4 games will also get cheaper.
Wii U on the other hand won't get much cheaper than what it already is. And Wii U physical games will go OOP and expensive.
I actually bought a PS3 back then just for MGS4. Played it. And sold the PS3 right afterwards. I got almost all of my money back. And the PS3, that I bought years later, was way cheaper and had a larger HDD.
Buy the Wii U later? Sell ps4 this year for the WiiU seems just crazy. You can buy a WiiU extremely cheap waiting for the end of year. This console it's pratically a zombie in the market, will become cheaper very soon. My suggestion eh.
The fuck? Lol.ps4 will not become extremely cheap sooner if it will continue to sell in this way. It's more easy for the WiiU drop the price early.

It will depend on how viable Atlus sees PS3 (next fall?) from a western market perspective. You could say things like "established install base" but I'm thinking in 6 months PS3 will be an after thought relegated to the likes of Madden and other yearly releases. A year from now I fully expect indie devs to be the only ones putting out PS3 software.
I got mine half a year ago for effectively 100pounds (actually 180pounds, but 2 Wiimotes included - worth 35 pounds each - and 3 games as well - you can sell those on ebay you know).
Expecting it to get way cheaper than that is simply insane. In fact Wii U actually got a bit more expensive than what I paid.
PS4 will go down in price. Staying at 320pounds for the next few years won't happen. That's like expecting PS4 games to stay at 40pounds pricepoints.
That's the natural consenquence to be a failed console drop the price lower than the other. Economy works in this way. If you think next Christmas WiiU will cost the same probably you will have a big surprise.
Of course will drop the price. But rebuy it will be more expensive than take a WiiU in the same period.

If OP is a PS+ subscriber, he needs to make sure to collect on his games while he's without a PS4 should he go that route.

Alternatively, you can still find deals for them and they tend to hold their resell value much better. It all depends on how you look at it
Edit: I would definitely make sure you think it through OP so you don't go through the same thing again when the PS4 library starts to ramp up. Both systems will have some exceptional games that most won't want to miss. If you can keep your PS4 and pick up a Wii U for cheap in a couple of months, that's what I would suggest. That way you don't end up in a similar situation when the next big PS4 game is announced that you want.

The Wii U has much better exclusives in general and is the better purchase right now, that said don't sell another console to get it. That's just silly, just save up for a WiiU.
So much respect that they stopped letting us import games, removed chargers from the XL, and we have to manually contact them to restore our shit.
If anything Nintendo has been straight up dickheads this generation.

I wish this was a true statement, but there are a lot of WiiU games which are practically impossible to find.
I've been searching (not hardcore, but on and off) for Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker and none of the places I've been to have it. From Fry's Electronics to Best Buy to Target to Walmart.
If a new game is that hard to find, how hard are the smaller games going to be? I can't even imagine trying to track down a new copy of Pikmin 3 at this point.
99% is probably a big exaggeration, but if you actually look at the libraries on the XB1 and PS4 compared to PC, tons of overlap there, plus a much larger amount of PC exclusive games.
Sure there are plenty of exclusives(on PS4 even more so). But not to the point where every single person is gonna care about the relatively much smaller amount of games they cant play as opposed to the games they could just buy on steam instead.
