Unfortunately, you have a point. Rayman Legends was what, a week or two away from its launch before it got pushed back half a year? However, RL was a delay that we knew would still be coming. We're talking about flat out canceling Watch_Dogs, which doesn't make any sense, as that game is likely finished. It was probably done for the most part back in November, but delayed to allow the X1/PS4 versions extra development time. Ubi canceling the Wii U version would be the equivalent of throwing the cost of making the port into a dumpster.

Maybe the Wii U version was cancelled since last year. Honestly, we cannot have confidence in Ubisoft and it can be a last minute decision, just like RL, after looking at the ACIV sales it was better for them to just cancel it.

ACIV probably is at least zeroing in on breaking even if nothing else, since the engine is basically the same as ACIII so the "porting" costs have to be much lower.

Dumb as Ubi's reason for delaying Rayman Legends was, at least it was a *reason* (Microsoft's clout). There would be no reason to do this, unless the game was actually running much worse than other versions, or like Aliens: Colonial Marines the game is actually shit and just not worth releasing on any platform, so they might as well cut off the weaker-performing versions, but I would seriously doubt it. Watch Dogs is going to be Ubisoft's big bet going into the next generation as Assassin's Creed stagnates and their other brands have proven to be diminishing (Rayman and Splinter Cell), so they're going to want to put it on as many platforms as they can justify.
