It really depends on how much money you want to spend and whether you like high definition stuff. I don't have a Wii U, but in my opinion it is probably not very fun because it is more or less like a Nintendo DS with that touchscreen and stuff. I really like Wii because it already has a lot of fun games, but they might stop making them soon. It depends on whether you want the latest console, whether you like HD games, and whether you want a giant touchscreen built into your controller.
The Wii U has all these things that are superior to the Wii: New controller, new system, supports HD at 1080P, New and more advanced games, 7 years of advancements in technology, a better online experience, and probably more.
