It is a pretty insignificant blow to Wii U. This Rayman game was one of the early Wii U games that really showed off the tech, now its on PS3/360. It's one more reason not to buy a Wii U. It's losing exclusives at a time where it should be gaining them.

Fixed for ya.  This isn't a Final Fantasy XIII level multi-plat betrayalton, so let's not catastrophize.

We'll see plenty of Wii U exclusives, such as Wind Waker HD, Mario Kart, Smash, and 3D Mario - all at E3.  :)

None of these titles matter, because they are Nintendo games.

EXACTLY. That is NIntendo's problem, they rely too heavily on 1st party. They need 3rd party support, it doesn't look like they're going to get it. This is due not only to Nintendo being Nintendo, but it is also due to the Wii U being not powerful enough for next-gen ports and too custumized for current-gen ports. To top that all of, that Wii U gamepad means devs have to be creative with Wii U games. It means extra work so a lot of times, it's not worth it.
