Again we're talking about big companies, when their own resources are stretched, they outsouce. Budget contrainst should be a none factor because the assumption is that you're making money back from the cost of importing by the additional userbase you're expecting to sell to. For it to be a problem they must believe the Wii U userbase is not interested in their games or the effort required to port must be extensive (which can't be the case as Wii U arcitecture is more similar to the 360 then the ps3's is). But regardless of the reasoning, the end result is negative.

So tell me, why is Ubisoft giving such huge Wii U support but not Watch Dogs?

Might it be that Ubisoft Montreal is putting all their Wii U development effort into Assassin's Creed III?    Might it be that the game engine hasn't been ported to Wii U yet?

“Not at this time. We have so many titles in development for Wii U right now that we need to keep that team focused and this is a very very ambitious game. But it’s not out of the question.”
-Ubisoft

As you can see, I'm offering cirucmstances just as plausible as you are which are also backed up by some of the actual developers.  Why do you continue to insist that only the negative circumstances are plausible?  You assume way too damn much with claims like they would outsource if they wanted it.  Outsource it to whom that has the game engine ported over to Wii U and enough readily avaiable dev kits and resources lying around not already working on soemthing to take on the job?

It is plausible they can't port it over due to lack of resources etc, but I'd rather stick to my assumption that if a massive company like Ubisoft really wanted to port the game to Wii U then they would. Regardless of the reason their absense puts the Wii U in bad place in regards to 3rd party support, this is the only point I care to make.
