The holiday sales could also be a big one, for years the publishers have been analyzing trends and they have seen that Nintendo consoles in particular benefit a lot from the holiday period, to the point that if one of their games miss it, they start to wonder if it is not better to just cancel the game. I have 2 friends that work in the industry and both have told me the same, if you can't get the game before black friday in USA and before christimas shopping in Europe, don't bother, this applies to the Wii U, the handheld have another period of good sales just before and during the start of the summer vacations (in USA at least).
That is partially one of the reasons why Ubisoft was willing to "sacrifice" the Wii U version of Watch_dogs in favor of the other ones, but it cannot allow it to slip further.
