Good for us too, since Ubisoft usually makes good games. Getting Watch_Dogs on WiiU for sure, have to look into the others .

Hate to burst your bubble but Ubisofts multiplat development will end for the Wii U unless its exclusive after all the multiplat games for the end of the gen are over. Mark my words and when next year the multiple drought occurs, remember you read it here first.

In a world where games can sell 4 million units and still be called a failure, how long will it take 3rd party publishers to stop making multiplats for 360 and PS3? Publishers need that userbase and that revenue just to recoup costs on titles developed for 7th generation graphics. UE4 isn't going to make that any cheaper.

The PS4 and the next Xbox are going to face the same problem Wii U has: Why should I buy a new console when new games are still being released on PS3 and 360?

The PS4 and the Xbox will be exempt development wise from the Wii U because it has the actual specs Epic, Ubisoft and other devs have been demanding. The Wii U will get a lot of exclusive games though because even if they were included the games would have to be scaled down massively from the size of levels and more. Watch Dogs isnt a next gen game which is why it will be held back in many ways. The scaling back would affect loading, draw distance, graphics, frames and much more.
