And in no way is this Ubisoft stabbing Nintendo in the back. Ubisoft has one reason for existing. To make money. Clearly with the sales of non-Nintendo games on WiiU and WiiU sales in general, leaving Rayman Legends a WiiU exclusives would be a loss of revenue. And in no way would this game boost system sales so they absolutely made the right move. Nintendo screwed themselves here.

By delaying the Wii U version too? That's a slap in the face to everyone who anticipated the game.

Like i said, Nintendo should jack Ubisoft's royalty rates through the roof for the next year.

I feel for WiiU owners.  This sucks.  Ubisoft is obligated to make a profit and we all know how ports of games that came out months ago do.  Crap.

If they launch all together they all benefit from the marketing/hype one time.    If they launch it on WiiU now and PS3/360 later, their sales are shot.  There'd be little point.     As crappy as it is, from a business perspective, it's the right move.   From a WiiU fan perspective - it sucks balls.
