I think Ubisoft decision was a massive let down (and I don't even care for Rayman or WiiU), but it was disrespectful towards WiiU owners and the gaming community.

games get delayed all the time, no biggie. but it was disrespectful towards the devs, who apperantly worked overtime for months to get this done, only to find out that the time they spent away from their families was all for nothing since they apperantly could have extra time to work on the game

But delaying it in a matter of a couple of weeks so it can be released along other versions was very disrespectful towards WiiU owners that were waiting for this game. They could have just released it for the WiiU and release later on other platforms since the WiiU version is already done.

well there are two reasons i can think of that wont make that happen

1- Marketing, why spend money on two marketing campaign's and on two releases? just have one simultaneous release to save money and make better profit. also if they release it now on WiiU there will be less hype and anticipation for it for the ps360 release since its been already released on the wiiu months ago.

2- microsoft apperantly has a rule for releasing games on xbox, that if a game is to be released on xbox it has to be released at the same time as other versions. so ubisoft had to delay the game to meet that rule. (this one is more likely to be the reason, IMO)
