Maybe, maybe not.
If I'm Ubisoft upper-management sitting at a conference table over in France, looking at Wii U hardware and software sales since January 1st, would I not be inclined to delay the game until a time when the market might be a little stronger and people more willing to spend $59 on a 2D sidescroller?
Sales estimates for Rayman Legends on Wii U as an exclusive were probably not looking very good. Back in summer of 2011 publishers were all pushing back their 3DS releases until the fall in hopes that a price cut coupled with first-party software sales would boost the market and their sales would go up as a result. It looks like pretty much the same deal, here.
For all we know, Nintendo hinted to Ubi that they'd give Wii U a price cut in September.

Would u feel the same about ps4/720 games? What if those consoles sell less than wii u has in same time frame and wii u is sitting close to 8-10 million? Would it be ok to delay a game 6 months for no reason? Also if they release on wii u now and Sony micro in sept what would be the big deal ? I can't see a single issue with doing that other than helping Nintendo with a timed exclusive. It seems everyone wants Nintendo to fail. I say they charge ubisoft more per game for any game sold on their console from now on handheld wii or wii u. Despite any consequence on Nintendos part. Nintendo needs to be more proactive and less passive about these issues.
