It's fair to say that no Ubisoft game (or any third party title for that matter) will sell more software on a Nintendo console than Nintendo's own first party games.

Really it's business 101. When you invest, you weigh risks against return. In the Wii U's case, they are being or have been surpassed by consoles that have been out a year less than the U. If the trend continues than Sony will continue to grow their lead and MS will find it's footing. I kept reading how 2014 was going to be some magical year coming off 2013 which had an ok group of games. So far we are nearly halfway through the year and what has there been DK (another platformer) and MK8. The next 3 months have 1 exclusive game which is a reskinned spinoff. The rest of the year has nothing finalized yet, that's pathetic. Why should Ubisoft take heat when Nintendo themselves has only MK8 done so far this year, and maybe Smash bros but I doubt we'll get the console version this year.

Finally the Wii U controller just fails to innovate. It's just there, something even Nintendo half asses with, and I fail to see more than a few games which benefit or could have been done without the extra programming and effort it takes. If done properly, it might have been something cool but not even Nintendo has set a precedent for how innovate the controller can be.
