It's not gonna sell like Zombi U. That game was pushed fairly heavily for the Wii U launch window and even bundled with the system for a while.

Take a good hard look at those Assassin's Creed IV sales and start counting down from there. 

I as mentioned... AC4 died accross the board. When from a 12m franchise to 7m. People largely disliked AC3 and sales of AC4 show that.

From 8.74m to 6.82m, if we compare the same months (November + December each) instead of 62 weeks against 10 weeks.

AC3 in Nov. + Dec. 2012: 4.33m (PS3) + 3.81m (360) + 0.51m (PC) + 0.09m (WiiU) = 8.74m

AC4 in Nov. + Dec. 2013: 2.43m (PS3) + 2.17m (360) + 1.17 (PS4) + 0.58 (XBO) + 0.35m (PC) + 0.12m (WiiU) = 6.82m

And many people who wanted the next-gen versions couldn't get their PS4 or XBO until the end of 2013... so perhaps we should wait another few months to see, if AC4 sales much worse than AC3.


The Wii U version was delayed to match the launch of X1 and PS4. Another reason why the Wii U version had its legs cuts from day one, just like Rayman legends did and just how Watch dogs is now.

Why bother to launch your games on the Wii U at all if you do this kind of thing? At the moment, it would be best for Nintendo if Ubi soft didnt release anything at all on the platform. This kind of bad rep from 3rd parties just doesnt benefit anyone, especially the Wii U.
