It is ubisoft's job to manage their resources and release everything on time. with this move, they are calling nintendo consumers second class buyers. and when you consider what they did with rayman legends last year, it's as unprofessional and biased as it can get.

I appreciate what you mean about making nintendo consumers feel like second class buyers. I remember feeling angry when the Rayman Legends was delayed to include the other platforms. But it's not unprofessional, and it's not biased. It's business is, and it's about making money at the end of the day, which means they have more money to invest in making more games.

Even with the additional sales of the other platforms, Rayman still didn't meet its sales targets. But at least it did three times better than it might have done if it was just a Wii U exclusive. Plus, because of the delay, we got 30 more levels, extra bosses, and just a generally better game all round.

They made the best of the situation, not just for themselves but for the consumers, too.

NO ONE is complaining about rayman being a multiplatform. but they could have released the FINISHED product in february, waited a couple of months and then announce a ps360 version instead of delaying the wii u version two weeks before release. the wii u version would have sold more while the ps360 could get the 30 extra levels and sell the same as they did while wii u owners wouldn't be pissed.

now, watch dogs didn't have a specific date and the wii u version had been confirmed for one year. if they had to delay everything a little more, so be it.

the problem is people thinking this is right and even enjoying that wii u is getting a late version but I bet they would have a meltdown if it was the ps4 or xone version instead. Pathetic hipocrisy.

Umm, I'm a Wii U owner, and I would have been pissed if I'd have missed out on 30 extra levels for Rayman. I'm a Wii U owner, and I'm happy to wait for a game in the knowledge that it'll be all the better for it. I'm used to waiting for delayed games. Nintendo are renowned for it. But then, I know they'll be well polished games in the end.

[Edit to add] - Watch Dogs may not have had a specific date when it was delayed back in October, but they did say it was delayed until Spring 2014. Now, it is Spring 2014. Do you think they really want to announce a second delay after 6 months of waiting? And if it's true that the Wii U version had already been confirmed for one year from October of last year, (I didn't know that and can't find anything to confirm it) then I really don't understand what the fuss is all about. They're keeping to their promises. Release in Spring 2014, Wii U later.
