They just lost a day 1 buy with this decision. Now I will wait for this game on PS3, PC, 360 or WiiU to fall below $10 (since I own all those systems and PC WILL happen)
I mean are they stupid? Rayman is a great IP but it can be even more successful . If they would have given this game to the already starving WiiU userbase they (the WiiU users) would have a new great game to buy and play Alot of people would love it and would become Rayman fans.
Sell it on PS3 and 360 a year later I dont mind but dont call the game exclusive and then push it back so the other versions come out that is in no way a smart business plan at all. There is no point at all in waiting for the almost or already completed WiiU version to be released. Its just a waste of money.
The best thing they could have done would have been to release the game on WiiU and without mentioning the PS3 or 360 version for about 6 months. Then announce the other versions with a release date 6 months after the announcement.
What they now did was turn an exclusive (something special) into something ordinary that might get down in the shuffle of other releases on 2 consoles that already have a ton of games.
Its in Ubisofts own interest that WiiU gets a bigger userbase but by announcing this unreleased exclusive turning into an ordinary multiplat title just hurt themselves.
I mean Konami did a stupid thing with MetalGearSolid on 3DS and before this was released they mentioned the HD collection for PS3 and 360 which totally made the 3DS game not worth the money.
Capcom and Resident Evil Revelations are the way to go!
Sometimes I wonder how so many people got so powerful/influential while at the same time being so totally retarded.
P.S. This is exactly why the third party has almost no chance on Nintendo hardware they f*ck themselves all the time and just show the Nintendo fans that the only company they can rely on is Nintendo. They keep showing how irrelevant they and that they are nothing the Nintendo fanbase needs.
