It is only bad if they don't know how to make the announcement.
They can go the logical path... after releasing this game for Wii U in march, announce it as a 720p port for PS3 and 360 (porting to another new console make less sense) during E3 (june) when most of the Wii U owner had the oportuninty to buy it and don't confirm price till a later date, and then release it in october at 40 dollars, around the same price that the WiiU version should be at that time.
Or they can go the crazy EA way... a few days before selling the Wii U version, announce that they are going to release a Rayman collection including Origins and Lagends for the PS3 and Xbox 360, just a few weeks later that will sell for 50 dollars.
In the first one they get good sales from the Wii U edition because is an announced exclusive for a few months before any other version is even mentioned, then they please the owners of the other consoles by giving them the game they want with a reduced but fair price for Wii U buyers.
In the second one they cripple the Wii U version and damage their image with the owners of that console, and also devaluate their own game showing that is not ok to spend 60 dollars on it, and PS3 and Xbox 360 owners will want a PSN and Live release for 20 dollars top.
Now I expect 600k sales for the game with a solid start and a good bump when there is a reduction in price as a good number of players consider 60 dollars too much for a 2D plataformer.
