How can anyone call it quits when the hardware just launched at its barely over 3m in userbase?

EA did quit because it never started. It has a personal beef over its origin service.

Activision isn't going anywhere.

activision hasn't really started either.  it's not so likely a "calling it quits" as much as "failure to commit".  ubisoft was the only one that really came out strong for wiiU and therefore the only one that can (as possibly have judging by rayman) called it quits.

but they didnt call it quits, people are acting (not you, but people in general) like ubisoft cancelled the game on WiiU, when they just delayed it for two possible main reasons A)- to launch alongside other versions of the game, resulting in spending less marketing on both releases and B) to wait untill the WiiU has a slightly larger install base. its just a bussiness decision. they didnt "call it quits"

Yes, Ubisoft is staying the strongest supporter for WiiU beside WB of the western publishers. Activision is more of a question-mark, but while their support for Wii was not great it was not too bad either. So it might be probable, that if the sales stay bad, Activision will leave the platform. But as they not new to the business, they know that a new system need some time, and an early supporter may mold the market for later better sales. So I think they will give the WiiU a year.
