bolded: it's not delaying "others", it's delaying ALL versions if they couldn't get them ready

2. it got resources taken away from it several months before release, that explains the delay of several months.

3. they lost the oportunity of making the wii u version sell well and stained their name even more with nintendo fans. his stuff has cumulative negative impact for them. it's also probable that they use low sales of WD as a pathetic excuse to not release similar games.

1. I'm sorry man I don't get your point. It was implied that I meant all versions would be delayed simultaneously. Perhaps it would have made more sense to you if I had said "delaying all the other versions as well". Either way my point still stands. Delaying one version that constitutes a below average share of the potential revenue pool to enable release of the others makes sense.just look at AC IV:

The wii u version constitutes less than 2% of total unit sales and that doesn't even include steam, psn, and xbox live digital sales.

2. I believe the resources got taken away in February so yes there is a possibility the lack of those resources contributed to the wii u delay, however, there is still not enough evidence to conclusively prove that. I ask you, how many resources? Was it even the whole Wii u team? How do we know the wii u version wasn't already in trouble before that? If you have evidence that answers these questions than I would be more inclined to agree with you. Either way though, my points 1 and 3 would explain why Ubisoft made that decision based anyways.

3. Your number 3 is answered by my number 4.

1. they are destroying the chances of a version because of their own incompetence. it's simply not justified.

2. the wii u version was confirmed over a year ago. it's fair to assume the development was up to date with other versions, given all the time it had. the big delay IS because resources are being taken away from it.
