Think it through: advertising only comes from Microsoft, but not the actual console announcements. It could be an issue that Microsoft tried to get the very announcements buried, but that Activision refused for PS due to the revenue received there, but agreed to go MS-exclusive advertising while burying the very existence of the Nintendo versions.
This *did* start in 2010 when that MS/Activision deal first surfaced, after all.

?? what does annoucements have to do with advertisment? those are two different entities. Again MS has no reason to bury Nintendo versions because they sell the worse by FAR. Hell even when the wii was on top those versions sold worse. Even if what you say is true, why keep doing it when it was clear the Nintendo versions were selling worse and worse as time went on. Hell the wii U ones cant even sell a quarter mil. So i have thought it through and it makes no finacial sense for MS to do this.
the Wii u versions remind me of TV shows that have low ratings, they get renewed or annouced at the last minute becasue frankly Acti themselves might be iffy on even putting the games on the system

Aye, but the games themselves are only announced about 6-7 months in advance, well beyond the timeframe where they would have to *know* whether they're at least making a Wii U version or not. Unless they're afraid of something like Watch Dogs where the other versions hit a development crunch and they have to pull staff to make sure they get out on time, but that wouldn't explain the persistent pattern for four years.
At least you're providing alternate explanations, though. This is discussion and not mere hot air.

but only Treyarch works on the Wii U versions, hell they are the only ones to have EVER worked on the WIi and WIi U versions of those games. From my understanding Treyarch doesnt even get started on the versions of the games until well after development has started on the games themselves proper, which would explain why the Wii/U version gets annouced later, in case Acti pulls the plug they can fall back on "we never said it was coming" Hell i wouldnt eve be surprised if Treyarch has their own mini dev team with them that works SOLELY on the Wii/U versions of the game.
