If this is a console only multiplatform, then it'll be a loss. If it's available on PC, though, it really doesn't matter whether Wii U gets the game or not.


So I guess Watch Dogs on Wii U is pointless too? I'd recoken most/many Wii U owners don't have a high end gaming PC. 


It is pointless, as PC version will be better anyway and, also, cheaper. You don't need to have a high end gaming PC to be able to play games better than on consoles.

Not everyone buys a new PC every ~5 years though, because if you don't play games on it there aren't many reasons to upgrade. And even most of today's laptops under $1000 can't run games higher than 30FPS on medium settings. PC versions of multiplat games usually sell a bit below the 360 and the PS3 versions (even if it has a PC focus, such as Battlefield), so the amount of non-pirate PC gamers that have a decent enough rig to run last gen games is what ? 50-60m ?

So it's more like the PC version that is pointless because the majority of people will get it elsewhere.

Most games cannot be enjoyed on low settings. That's why the most successful games on PC don't have advanced graphics or can be adjusted down without losing anything important, so "everyone" can play it. Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Diablo 3 etc.

Watch Dogs on low settings would probably look like San Andreas (dramatized).
