Call of Duty Ghosts OFFICIALLY coming to Wii U!

There's a difference between not caring and acting like the game doesn't exist. If it was a simple matter of not caring, why not just tag a "Wii U" logo onto the first (non Xbox event) trailer for Ghosts that came out? You don't have to talk about it, you don't have to up-play it, but to act like it doesn't exist? To not allow people to pre-order it? What possible motive could there be?

Remember the interview with the guy from Infinity Ward at E3? He basically said it was coming, but also implied that Activision's lawyers would not let him openly admit as such. What possible reason could there be for that?

They are not just ignoring it, they are actively attempting to discourage people from buying it, but that is against their own interests (especially since it's pretty clear that they're not just looking for an excuse to drop support like EA was. Activision, at least, usually puts in a modicum of effort with their Nintendo Call of Duties). So what's the motive, here? Why would Activision self-sabotage?

Microsoft wouldn't spend "extra" money for this, either. It was simply part of the moneyhat that got them timed DLC exclusivity: bury the non-Xbox versions, but Activision couldn't really afford to bury the PlayStation version, so it was agreed to bury the Nintendo ones instead.

Or...

The Wii U version was in a state of limbo, and they were waiting until post-E3 to see what Nintendo's plan for the system was.

There was an issue in the production and they weren't sure it could be completed on time.

They wanted to encourage sales on other systems first because they are more profitable.

They wanted to keep the "mystery" alive to stir up speculation in order to draw more attention to it.

They were still deciding whether it was worth their time to release it on a system where it won't make a lot of money for them.

Any of those would be a more plausible explanation for them to have done this than "they sabotaged their own profits by 'burying' the game but are so desperate for a profit they'll release iit anyway."
