Well, this is an absolute kick in the ball for Wii-U in Q1. This & LEGO could've pulled the sales up in the west a bit, now it's all falling on LEGO's shoulders (although I have to admit, the latest trailer for that game makes me want to buy it. Looks really good).
Could see this coming though. Even if you use the (admittedly unreliable) figures here, it just seemed absurd that Ubisoft would abandon the two consoles on which it sold the most. I thought the gamepad features might have been the saving grace for it, but I see they found a workaround for that.
I understand the frustrations and wrath bringing and boycotting, but I'd hope that people who were genuinely excited for this game and not just buying it because it's a Wii-U exclusive will come round once they've calmed down. When Versus XIII inevitably gets announced as a multi-plat I'll curse and stomp my feet a bit, but then I'll realise I've been hyped about this game for years and I'll buy it no matter what platforms it's - or how (further!) delayed it is.
At the end of the day I like games. And although I have console and publisher loyalties, plus morals regarding treatment of consumers, quality games matters more to me at the end of the day.
