They conducted research with their active community. Wii U was one of the platforms listed when they both asked what formats you own and what format you would purchase Rock Band 4 on. They also asked things like do you want to use/buy new instruments or existing? 

 

Chuck in the fact that you can ALREADY play Rock Band on Wii U and it seems perfectly logical to leave the Wii U version for now.

A poll with this kind of game won't mean much since the main buyers will only know about it when marketing starts. It's also the opposite of "perfectly logical" to skip wii u.

I agree its obviously economics 101 to ignore your core user base's (the one still playing and buying DLC now) feedback on what they want from your product and instead put all your limited resources into putting the game on a console it is already available on and also failing spectacularly in the marketplace.
