They are right to be worried. Launch games do not all sell great over time. It is better for them to wait for more consoles to be purchased.

You do know that, when the game launches, there is the strong possibility that there will be more WiiUs than PS4s/nextbox because it will launch almsot 1 year before the other 2, right? Why cancel the vesion for the console with more users then?

it is not just that though. surely a port means game is pretty much done. why wait year and a half for the new 720/ps4 (perhaps longer for ps4 if sony claims they waiting for significant jump). Why shelve the game for over a year?

If they release it at launch, it will geenrate them revenue, even if it is to fund only future 720/ps4 projects.

Problem is that, from the looks of it, they just started the development of the project for all platforms, but someone took a look at how much would it cost to make the game, they decided that it was too much so they decided to cancel the version for WiiU.

The game itself is pretty much in its infancy and won't be released in a year or two.
