That's true, but they aren't making special versions for the X1. Plus the X1 is selling much better than the Wii U. 

And what you prove is that only games for kids sell okay on the Wii U. I think most third party's know this and act accordingly. For example, I think Ubisoft's next Rayman game will probably be on the Wii U. But of course they aren't going to spend millions changing Assassin's Creed so that kids can play it. That just doesn't make financial sense. 

The wii u got a special version of any of those games?

Wouldnt be to sure about that. Cartoony AAA titles are doing very good on wii u. Games like Mario kart 8, Mario 3d Wörld and co get played (mainly) by kids. I think its like 50% kids/50% nintendo fans. Thats still like 1-3 mio kids playing AAA cartoony games on wii u.

Assassins Creed Unity sold 2,7 Mio on xbox one and 0,4mio on PC. A cartoony version that sells like 1,5-2 Mio on Wii U should be very profitable in my opinion. Keep in mind that Assassins Creed games still sold like 0,3mio on Wii U as normal ports. That copies are pretty sure bought by adults who would buy a cartoony version too. So something around 2 mio shouldnt be to unrealistic with some marketing.
Also its not tooo hard. If you read my first topic, even hobby modder are doing cell shading texture packs. Also cell shading textures are very simple (thats why they are not very demanding) and easy to made. Much easier then a realistic looking texture.

I still believe it would do well.

I agree with you that cartoony games sell well on the Wii U. But why should companies spend so much money and put so much effort to make games look more child friendly? It just doesn't make sense.

 And I highly doubt it would sell 2m. Even Nintnedo's exclusives which got a decent amount of marketing and were aimed at kids just reach 1m. So I highly doubt a cartoony Assassin's Creed would sell more than 250k.
