And now they have announced the systems that the next Assassin's Creed games will be coming to and Wii U is also getting skipped.

A recent interview with Ubisoft mentions that online free roam will be a next gen (PS4/XBO) exclusive feature and also mentioned that online play was coming to all versions that were going to be released "soon". From the wording it seems online play will be skipping Wii U, though it may still get it. I honestly have doubts they will put a great effort into the Wii U version.
Is this a sign that Ubisoft has given up on Wii U? I think it may be. Sales of their games haven't exactly been good on Nintendo's latest console and maybe they realized they either have to try something different or just cut support for the system.
For me this is a sad moment, Ubisoft has done very well utilizing the gamepad in their games. I have purchased just about every Ubisoft game available for Wii U and have been very satisfied with my purchases. I would have like to see the next Assassin's Creed on Wii U also, it's a shame.
Do you own a Wii U? What are your thoughts on this?
