Wait for Mario Kart? Uh....Did you mean Smash Bros?

WiiU has some amazing titles this year. Keeping xbone at bay, perhaps forever! But it won't beat PS4 even in a pipe dream.

PS4: The Last of US, Killzone, Infamous, MLB The Show, LBP 3, Drive Club and great multi plats like Assassins Creed, Alien Isolation, Metro Redux, Battlefield, Destiny, Watchdogs, Diablo 3, Plants VS Zombies Garden Warfare, Middle Earth

To come: The Order, Deep Down, Shadow of the Beast, The Crew, The Division, Evolve, Dragon Age, Far Cry 4.
