Watchdogs would not have sold well on WiiU, the userbase is not there and we have actual factual evidence to back that up looking at third party sales on the system.

Ubi is leaning on Nintendo to increase the userbase for the Wii U version with MK8 and Bayo 2

Nah they're not. There are 6m WiiU's out there sold because of Nintendo franchises like DK, Mario, Zelda and others. Hence games like AC and COD (the big third party hitters) reach a mere 300k. What do you think and extra 1m/1.5m consoles sold primarily to people that again like Nintendo franchises is going to do to the sales of AC ect??
Ubi have made a great effort on WiiU with their games, but I think honestly they realise it's just not worth the effort for such little pay out. XB1 and PS4 is where the Watchdogs franchise will thrive this gen and it's important Ubi do all it can to make sure those versions are perfect. And delaying it further is not good either, come September XB1/PS4 are going to be bombarded with games.

Well they have a mostly finished WiiU game, at this point they can recover some costs by putting the WiiU version out in the wild, even if it is late.
There's a chance WiiU becomes the console-du-jour when you have MK8, Bayo 2, X and Smash out in roughly the same timeframe. That could mean far more than just 1 million new folks in the userbase. That could bode well for the Wii U version, better than if it were releasing alongside other versions IMO.
If the series gets popular and has legs, WiiU may be able to carve out it's own niche fanbase of the series.
If the Wii U didn't have releases later this year, they would have actually cancelled the game.

Smash is November onwards, from now to September~ it's only going to add another million users, no more than that.
Fact of the matter is, that audience is not on WiiU, the same as it wasn't on Wii.
