It wouldn't surprise me if Ubisoft said to Nintendo, hey, Rayman being an exclusive benefits you a lot more than it does us, so we'd like you to subsidize some of the advertising.

I honestly thought the same thing, that Nintendo was paying some extra for this.

Is it really a disagreement by Ninteno and Ubisoft though? Or just Ubisoft?

I don't know.  There aren't enough details to judge.

I think it's possible Ubisoft might have demanded more from Nintendo than was originally agreed upon because they felt the Wii U's struggles were going to hurt sales badly.  They might have wanted Nintendo to cover some of that.  And, quite honestly, if that's the case, then I'm not entirely sure who to side with.  It sounds greedy on Ubisoft's part, but on the other hand, they were giving Nintendo major support that would probably hurt Ubisoft a lot more than a multi-platform release.  It's hard to blame Ubisoft if you think of it that way.

Of course, they could both be at fault for not being willing to reach a fair compromise.

What more could they want? Nintendo has been giving Rayman attention and Rayman Legends was the only playable demo for some time. 

I really want to know what were the disagreements between Ubisoft and Nintendo.
