Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot took the chance in a recent interview to explain why theWii U won’t be getting the next Assassin’s Creed game, and went on to say what they see Wii U owners are more interested in.

“It’s very simple. What we see is that Nintendo customers don’t buy Assassin’s Creed. Last year, we sold in very small numbers.”

“What we see is that they are very interested in Just Dance, very interested by other kinds of games. So what we are trying to do is to focus more on the types of games they are interested in.”

When asked about the Watch Dogs situation, Yves went on to say the following.

“[Watch Dogs] is coming to Wii U. It will be the only mature game we publish on it.”

That's what happens when you release a shit game like AC3 as the first AC game on Wii U. You are releasing the worst as the first offering to many and when it's crap people aren't going to go in for seconds. AC4 is decent enough, but still not a great game. The thing with Just Dance is that even if it's the enth release it's still mostly the same as the first just with different music so it's hard to screw up, kind of like guitar hero or rock band. Nintendo players tend to be social players as well, so it makes sense that the social game would be more successful, especially since in essence it really is the better game. I can't say it's a loss for the Wii U to not have AC whatever piece of crap to come out next that was more or less the same as the last that wasn't great either.
