Any potential this game had to flourish on the Wii U has been destroyed.

Late port that won't have the same graphic fidelity as PS4 and Xbox One.
Also all previous iterations of this game will likely have a price drop and the Wii U version will be full price.
If it had have been released at the same time as the others, when the game was hyped, it could have also ridden on the success of Mario Kart 8.
Because why not get a hyped game like Watch Dogs with another hyped game Mario Kart 8?

This would have given Watch Dogs a much better Wii U release and would have boosted Wii U sales to a lesser degree of Mario Kart 8. Together they could have made a stellar release.

I had a copy of Watch Dogs on pre-order for the Wii U.
Once the game was released and the initial hype died off, as well as the reviews of the game being mostly average - I decided to cancel the pre-order for the game. Other people probably did the same thing.
I am a student so I have to be more picky with my game purchases, I do not want to buy a game that is merely 'okay'. Okay is good if you have the money to blow and have a why-not attitude.

Honestly I do not see Watch Dogs taking off for the Wii U.
It should also be taken into account those who could not be bothered waiting and would have simply decided to get it on another platform instead.

I will be surprised if this game does well on the Wii U platform. This can be said to be Ubisoft's fault easily.
However the reason why Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty have not sold well on the Wii U platform is baffling (not so much COD: Ghosts as that was announced at the last minute).
