let's see, nintendo has always been criticized for not having third party support and now that it has it (though not exclusive) it's even more doomed? lol nintendo can never win

The whole point of the aticle is that this Rayman game was very much anticipated as one of the few Wii U 3rd party exclusives. IT HAS LOST EXCLUSIVITY.

It is now on PS3 and 360 and chances are that the game will sell MUCH better on these consoles. Exclusives are very important early in a consoles life cycle. Ubisofts decisiont to put this game on PS3/360 points to the fact that they dont' expect the Wii U to take off and sell like hotcakes. There isn't a lot of confidence in Wii U right now. Like with all Nintendo consoles, 1st party games are getting all the sales. 3rd parties get a very small piece of the pie and that pie gets smaller as times goes by.

It certainly won't sell good now. Too much competition in September on all platforms.
