I have heard from people on here that the Wii U version and the other versions of watchdogs should be released at the same time. How can you guys be so selfish?

The Wii U version needs special dev time because of weird/unfamiliar tech and you guys expect ubisoft to delay the game on all other systems so that the Wii U will be getting watchdogs at the same time? Let me get this straight, you guys want ubisoft to delay this game more for around 200million+ people just to satisfy a couple million Wii U owners?

I have even heard users on this site go as far as saying that they will never buy watchdogs for Wii U to teach Ubisoft a lesson. Wii U owners should just be lucky they are getting this game, it looks fun!

I'm getting the Wii U version, but I don't mind the delay. I'll be playing lots of MK8 during WD's release window anyway. I do feel lucky to have WD! Got a good feeling they game will have some cool extra Gamepad features. I'm with you, toast, WiiU gamers shouldn't get too upset with this. Port beggars can't be choosers.

WiiU version isn't necessarily more difficult to develop. I think the whole WD project's scope got out of control and they had to move the multi-plat release much later than promised. To meet the late-May ship date, the Wii U developer's were re-aligned to work on other platforms.

"I answer this one. We needed to focus on the overall experience and some Wii U staff was needed for this. Logistic."

After release, a small team of these same people will return to work on the Wii U version while a majority of all the developers move on to other projects. That's why the release date for the WiiU version is delayed for so long.
