Hmm so it's smaller than the PS3 version (17.1GB) that's interesting I wonder what they cut. Both the Wii U and PS3 versions are much bigger than the X360 version as the X360 version uses super heavily compressed FMV.

The Wii U and PS3 differences are likely audio and language.   For the PS3, they tend to put all text and audio languages on the disc (even if it's not for that territory).   Because the Wii U is region locked, they won't put unecessary extra audio and text on the disc.

We also don't know of which, if any, txture compression schemes are in play for each console version.

The PS3 disc speed is also slower so some game assets may have been written to the disc in mulitple locations to reduce load times.   I know several PS3 games that do this.

 

yea that makes sense 

It's all just a guess but the figures are close enough that it's unlikely any actual game content was cut to reduce that file size.    Despite the extra content that we do know is coming to the Wii U edition.
