| Mummelmann said: Failing to agree that Ubisoft are being dense for delaying Watchdogs Wii U: immensely ridiculous. Bringing up the enormous chasm between sales of multiplatform games on Wii U and other platforms to illustrate why decisions like the above are being made: irrelevant, we're obviously not comparing platforms here. Why are you even on a sales site, zero999? As for ZombiU; the only official statement I've heard on that is that Ubisoft has said it wasn't profitable. Here you go: http://www.destructoid.com/zombiu-257720.phtml "Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has revealed ZombiU made no money, the Wii U launch title failing to become "even close" to profitable." Straight from the horse's mouth. This is by far Ubi's most successful game on Wii U, and people are still making noise about their decision to delay and possibly cancel the Wii U version of Watchdogs. I mean; come on. Watchdogs likely has an even bigger budget than ZombiU, per platform at that, there is zero(lol) business sense in making it at all at this point. |
The cost to port AC and Watch Dogs probably isn't nearly as costly as developing ZombieU was. A couple guys and a few weeks could get the 360 versions on WiiU running decently. There are sunk costs of development that would occur with or without the WiiU version. The issue with Watch Dogs is that they need those dev hours right now to be committed to what are going to be the best selling versions.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
