The game has a metacritic average of 77. Not exactly AAA.

Metacritic has nothing to do with AAA status.

It sounds like Ubisoft was thinking the Wii U would be much more of a hit than it turned out to be.  Even if the attach rate for Zombi U went down with more console sales, which is what usually happens, a larger installed base could have easily turned the game into a success.  I also get the impression that Ubisoft drank Nintendo's Koolaid about the Wii U being a popular console for core gamers.

I'm really not sure why a lot of people here are criticizing Ubisoft and saying that their goals were unreasonable when many of the same people were expecting the Wii U to be a LOT more successful.  If Nintendo's target numbers had been even close to correct, we'd be reading a different story right now.
