The Wii U uses Wii Remotes as the controller of choice mainly, so it's not going to be the huge startup cost to get a good multiplayer setup like many might say. Those who are upgrading from the Wii will already have the accessories they need to play most games.
The limitations of the tablet controller mean you won't see that used too heavily, since two players maximum on tablet controllers is all the system can handle.
The Wii in my household gets lots of use still because of the Virtual Console/Wii Ware and Smash Brothers. I'm not in a huge rush to replace it yet, unless the Wii U has a Virtual Console with games unavailable to the Wii.
