Signing, even though it most likely won't change much. Being multi-plat is good for Ubisoft and the game, but the nonsensical 7 month delay for the essentially finished Wii U version is just stupid business. September and beyond has way too many high profile releases already. This game is going to drown among them.

Doesnt matter if teh game would drown in september or shine in september.

The biggest thing is that for 7 months Ubisoft is passing on money.  Whatever money they would have gotten from Wii U sales right NOW are now isntead put on hold for 7 months.  Makes no sense business wise.  Imagine waht they could all do with that money in those 7 months.  Start a new project, pay off debts, or hell just sitting it in the bank and doing nothing makes them money. 

But no, they decide they want to recieve 0 revenue from a completed game for 7 months.  If I was an invester i would be very pissed at ubisoft.

I agree, which is why it's stupid for them to wait until September. It could be making money now on the Wii U, rather than later. Besides, Nintendo will most likely have a few heavy-hitters ready by the end of the year that will take any spotlight away from this game. The game was being sent to die on the Xbox 360 and PS3 regardless, but if Ubisoft released the game now for Wii U it might have had a chance to sell without much competition for a while.
