So if all it takes is 100,000 copies selling for a Wii U port to be 'profitable' why does so many developer shun the console like the plague?

I mean if I put $2 million dollars in the bank for 2-3 years, that would also be profitable but I don't think that's the kinda of 'profit' most developers are looking for.

EA left them when all their ports were far from 100.000.

Let's see what Ubisoft, Activision and Warner are going to do next year.

EA is kinda of a special case, they have never been on the best of terms with Nintendo. I would be really scared if Ubisoft did the same however. That would really be a body blow given Ubi are open to porting there stuff to just about anything that looks like it might have a pulse.
