Thanks! I re-read my post several times to make sure I didd't make any mistakes. 

On topic. I wonder how much those games would have to sell to break even

I re-read my posts also, and after posting I often edit them again as I see new errors. Tip: I try not to use DIDN'T or THEY'RE. Instead I write DID NOT and THEY ARE. It is easier to write and easier to understand.

On topic:

Ubisoft says that it costs under $1.3 million to port to Wii U.

Now you have to figure out how much of the retail price that Ubisoft gets. If they get $13 then they have to sell 100 000 copies.

Some sales figures for Wii U ported games (vgchartz database)

Assassin's Creed III - 260 000

COD BLOP2 - 240 000

Batman AC - 220 000
