Hmm, let's think about this... the best information for the release date of the Wii U version is that they'll maybe make a 2014 release according to Ubisoft, maybe... So if they'd wait for the Wii U version to be finished then we'd probably be looking at a holiday release, "what's wrong with holidays?" you might think, well look at Watchdogs, last year it was on of the most hyped games, but with every month that game doesn't release the hype has been steadily diminishing. I've been constantly seeing people say things like "I used to be really interested in this game but now I don't care anymore", so thinking that the game wouldn't lose sales and therefore money if it takes even more time in development is stupid.
Also which games release in May on the PS and Xbox consoles? Pretty much nothing noteworthy. What releases in the holidays? Everything. Cod, Fifa, AC, Destiny, The Order, Halo and probably alot more. So in the holidays competition would be much stiffer, which would mean that marketing expenses would need to be higher and that the game would cause of its very diminished hype lose many sales to other games.
Now you're probably thinking "but the same applies to the Wii U version" and to that the answer is simple: Sales the Ps4/X1/PS3/360/Wii U versions of the game would lose by pushing the game to the holidays > sales they're losing on the Wii U version by releasing it later than the other versions. The Wii U version is by far the least important version of the game and was always only going to sell a fraction of what the other versions are going to sell.
So, saying that having a finished game and not selling it can't lose you money is absolutely wrong.

with resources being TAKEN FROM THE WII U VERSION, of course it isn't scheduled to be released soon. had they kept each team with each version, they'd be all ready a little later than the current may 27.
Let me draw again: the wii u version is halted and there are still two and a half months untill the other versions release. when that happens, the development of the wii u version will have to cover that ground.
again: a wii u version would be finished far before, if the team had kept working on it, and all version would be released only a little later than may 27. maybe july, if ubisoft is really incompetent.

Total bullshit. Take away 2 1/2 months of work until may 27 and the game might not even release in 2014, but work these 2 1/2 months on the version and the game should be done not long after may 27?? That makes no sense at all.
