Simple fact is: Ubisoft will look at the costs of porting their games to WiiU vs. the profit of WiiU sales, if it isn´t profitable, they will do what Bethesda and EA did, same with Actvision.

Bestheda never made a serious game on a Nintendo console so lol. Porting shit to the WIIU costs less than a million $$

You, probably like many, got that part from an incorrect quote. Gaming journalism is really not the best.

Original quote was:
"out of 7 games we are planning to launch, 5 games are ports, so those are games for which there is a quite small reinvestment to do. [...] For the other five games, you are talking about small budget, I'd say of less than a million euro to make some of the ports, I'd estimate. "

Which makes sense for Just Dance 4 or Skylanders, since both of them also had a Wii version, but definitely not for Assassin's Creed 3 and all other big budget ports.

Nah, not from there.Making an exclusive costs more. Porting isnt an extremely expensive process.

 

Wasnt the idea behind it that they werent going to bank heavy investment into the WiiU?
