Does anyone remember what Ubisoft's reaction was to the Wii U before release?  I'm not downplaying this, I'm just curious because if they were essentially lukewarm about the Wii U before release then I would put more stock to this statement by Ubisoft's CEO.

Heres what Yves Guillemot said about the Wii U

“The platform Nintendo is coming with is really a fantastic platform. We think it will be extremely successful.”

"We feel this console is coming with very innovative features that will change the video game industry and we want to be part of that"

"I think at least [as powerful]. It should be even superior for some of the games. We don't know everything, so we have a few things Nintendo is telling us that will have such and such powers."

Okay, that actually makes me take his excitement more seriously because it seems like he only knew about the gamepad at the time and not, you know, the other things about the Wii U like how Nintendo ended up reducing its power, how difficult it was to program for compared to the PS4/Xbone, its lacking online infastructure and pretty much how hands-off Nintendo was when it came to technical support for 3rd parties.

Thanks for doing the research.
