Spintercell Wii U rises from the bargain bib to exact revenge on Nintendo fans. We got what wedeserved on this one.


But that game was a steaming pile of garbage, which didn't happen to sell particularly well on ANY console, causing Ubi to question the future of trying to shit out another entry every year or two. So Wii U's gimped version, selling less than the other already not that great versions? Not surprising at all.

 

Notice how, while not amazing sales, ACIII, ACIV, CoD: BLOP2, CoD: Ghosts, Batman, etc. all managed to sell somewhere over the 100k mark. Again, not GREAT numbers by any stretch, but people DID go out and buy them, even with typical gimping action for these Nintendo ports. And those sales are certainly enough for Ubisoft, Warner Bros. and Activision to make at least a modest profit off of those ports. Not enough, perhaps, for them to be inspired to ramp up their Wii U support. But certainly decent enough to make them want to put out the next Batman, CoD, AC, etc.

Regardless, there is no real justification for this, except to imagine that the development of every version of this game is likely in trouble, hence the overall delays, and now they're just bumping the Wii U version back as an excuse to get that development team to help them get the OTHER versions out. This game's concept has a lot of potential, but if Ubi's ambition turns out to be bigger than their ability, and the game winds up crashing hard, it will be poetically ironic. Assuming that it DOESN'T crash/fail, the Wii U version will still come out. Just at a time in the year when it will be guaranteed to sell less. That March/April window in between DKCR2 and MK8 was probably the best window of opportunity Ubi had to maximize the Wii U versions' sales. And much like Rayman, they are once again fucking up.



i think if you'd played blacklist you'd have mentioned it in your post intead of using garbage as an adjetive. I suppose you are blissfully unaware of it's awesomeness from the systems best graphics to the amount of invested brilliance. Blacklist (WiiU) is a must own for any free thinker.
