So, what am I, non existant? Just bought Assassin's Creed IV, along with Rayman Legends (both for like $15 a piece, even a poor recent college grad like me can't resist that). Come on Ubisoft, you're about the only major third party that makes quality games for us 20 somethings Wii U owners out there! Surely SOMEONE must be buying your software considering how few other games on the console fit that need. Don't give up now!

I try to like Ubisoft. They are one of my favorite third parties, but they just continue to screw up (Rayman Legends delay) and make stupid statements like this. In the end I guess they're just another third party who unfoundedly whines about Nintendo and its fans. *sigh* At least they actually MAKE the quality games to back it up, which is more than I can say about virtually every major third party effort on Nintendo consoles in the last 20 years.. Gotta give 'em that..

Before you blame them, look at the sales of their games on Wii U. They have all sold terribly, especially the Assassin's Creed games. And you didn't really help them much in the cause if you bought their games for only $15 apiece.

Btw, Wii U owners will likely continue to get Rayman games.

You Nintendo fans continue to shaft them, and thus they decided to shaft you. That is absolutely fair.

Haha you are saying that to the wrong guy. I've bought dozens of third party games on Nintendo platforms over the years. I just love being sterotyped by people who know nothing about me!

Wrong. They shaft us, we shaft back.. The customer is always right. (Most of) these third parties insist on delaying, porting (using their b and c dev teams), downgrading, and cranking out garbage, thus they get garbage sales. Numbers don't lie.. Nintendo doesn't have some sort of enchanted spell on these people.. They are simply smart consumers who can recognize where the quality is in their library. The problem is that 95% of the quality tends to come from Nintendo software, and so they get 95% of the sales.

If anyone is to blame, it is Nintendo for making their games TOO good. Damn them!

And PS, Ubi didn't deserve more than my $15 for Rayman considering how they handled the Wii U release. *Days before launch* "Uhhh actually guys, we're gonna delay one of the premiere games for your console than has roughly 28 games for 8 months so we can release it on two more consoles that have about 500 games a piece, for a userbase that probably isn't even going to care. K thx!" If they released it at launch, I may have spent full price on it. But alas, time moves on, and I lost interest after the several other games I purchased in that time.
