As far as I know they did close to no marketing for the game.  Also its not like they did anything to the game to make it more functional on the Wii U its a straight port of the PS3 version without the trophies.

Well, there is marketing so that is still money. And lets not act like porting from the PS3 to the weaker WiiU is a piece of cake. It wouldn't have been. And there is still packaging and distribution costs, and whatever they had to pay to Nintendo for discs etc.

Besides the game apparently debuted with less than 2000 copies in its first week. Even if the cost was as impossibly minimal as you make it out to be, they weren't making money back with those sales.

Nothing that involved porting and the PS3 was easy, which is why the more powerful PS3 had the worst version of almost every multi-plat.
