Pretty unlikely it will come to the Wii U, currently the 360 version is the only one planned and they are ramping up on The Witcher 3 (which will be multiplatform at launch) and an origonal IP probably the suspended FPS They, that was in development in a studio that they purchased and then set to work on the Witcher 2. They have said that they don't want to outsorce the port since the desaster the The White Wolf turned into so that isn't an option, the PS3 version is a possibility that they will consider after 360 ships tho, but it's looking pretty unlikely as they are not a huge developer and it would likely take at least another 4-5 months to port which would take valuable resorces away from their new games.

Can you source this, my man?

Not really directly from CD Projekt but

Most important announcements about the CDPR RED plans:
- Witcher 2 Xbox - Q1 2012
- Another games will be multiplatform (at least 2 platforms)
- Constant development of the RED Engine and dev tools
- another IP/FRANCHISE started!!!
Also, another 2 AAA+ titles (while Witcher 2 is classified AAA ) will be released in 2014 and 2015 and considering the 3-5 year development cycle the titles are said to be already in development. In the meantime (2012-2013) there will be other 2 A and 1 AA class titles released (A - small budget, AA - mid sized budget).

Add in this
"RPS: When should we expect more news about what is to follow The Witcher 2?
Badowski: Version 2.0 will be the main story for the next weeks and months, and this version and its features will remain most important for us this year. Early next year, as we near its completion, we’ll reveal more about the Xbox version. As we’ve said before, this will be an “adaptation” rather than a port, and you can expect some interesting additions and changes. Some people have speculated that we’re calling it an adaptation because we’re changing the game visually so much by having to downgrade it. I can assure that this is simply not the case. As we release more and more videos, it’ll become obvious that the game looks unbelievably good on Xbox. So, the Xbox 360 version will be the main story for the first quarter of 2012. Next year will also see us reveal some other news, but the exact timing will depend on how business issues play out – we need to close some deals first, and given that we’re a listed company, we’ll be obliged to reveal the information at specific times. Anyway, next year should be no less interesting than this year was in terms of the news we reveal.
RPS: Will we have to wait another four years for The Witcher 3?
Badowski: Hmmm! What can I say? We’re gaining experience, our technology is becoming more and more complete every week, every month. And we’re definitely looking for ways to optimize and reduce development time. It’s no secret that we’re constantly hiring. Our team will soon number one hundred, of which almost 10% come from outside of Poland. (A small advert, if I may: game developers, go to wwww.thewitcher.com to look for job opportunities; we need passionate, experienced devs to strengthen our team. And don’t be scared – Poland is a great country, the people are warm and friendly, the girls are positively beautiful, and we’ll help you relocate… So apply today!). Given all that, our next game should take us less time to create overall. Of course, other factors will come into play. If, for example, we decide to produce an expansion, that may slow the process down a bit."

In other words unless they decided to make an expansion instead The Witcher 3 is due in 2014/15 as a multiplatform release and is in development now. And if they decided to release the third chapter as an expnsion then they would be ramping up on that anyway, bottom line is they are a busy couple of studios.
