Ubisoft estimates that it cost 1.2 million to port over to the wii U. Some estimate that the games only need to sell 50k to break even. Anyhting around 100k they will be making a profit.

Lol that's why they lost money on zombie U when it was at 400k when they did the annoucement, they just put a random number, they never even specified which game they were talking about. DE you really think porting ass creed 3-4 cost the same as Just dance or rayman, please, that article as been quote time and time again and yet games keep getting canceled on the wii U. Even most wii games (non shovelwares)needed more than 100k to break even last gen by what magic does the more powerfull wii U now require less than that to be profitable?

1. The article was talking about the cost of porting. I Didn't realise ZombiU was a port. What other platform was it on?

2. Random Number? Know it isn't - the figure was from the Predident himself. Yeah he definitely pulled that out of his ass. SM

3. Ubisoft hasn't cancelled any games for the Wii U. So what are you talking about? We are getting Watch_Dogs and Child of Light

4. We are talking about porting games over, not built from ground up games.
