If they reverse this (or say they mis-spoke) and still release for WiiU soon anyway, it's a publicity stunt. If they follow through on this, they're yucky stupid poopy head jerk faces (I'm cursing them out Christian style).

I have no problem with Ubisoft releasing a once Nintendo exclusive on other platforms (I'm not one of these fanboys who must have everyone "elusively" in order to enjoy my games), but here's where I have beef:

- Causes a 7 month delay for a game that is about to be released. Honestly, what is the point of this? The game HAS TO be finished by now.. While this doesn't effect me really as I'm not even planning on buying a Wii U till at least the end of this year, what of all the thousands of Nintendo fans who were eagerly awaiting this game? Really bugs me that Nintendo fans continue to be treated like second class citizens by these third parties, then they blame them when their rushed ports or shoddy games don't sell. I've never seen an industry more hostile to a consumer base as the gaming industry is to Nintendo fans.

- The hypocrisy of Ubisoft, saying they wish to "broaden their audience" for the game, yet Wii U fans get snubbed when it comes to Far Cry 3 and Watch Dogs. If you're going to let some whining PS360 fans pressure you into releasing Rayman on the other consoles, why not listen to the Nintendo fans doing the same for Far Cry and Watch Dogs?

Was going to buy this game, but forget it now. I can't buy it on principle, but also because of the fact that by the time September comes, there will be many other games I will want when I finally do invest in a Wii U.

Nice trolling Ubi.

ZombiU: 320K
Assassin's Creed 3 WiiU: 110K (9.14mil on other platforms)
Jut Dance WiiU: 150K (6.04mil on other platforms)

Hm....

Still, not very nice move from Ubi to do something like this so close to previously announced release date.

I said that before... and all versions will run in 1080p@60 fps like every other Rayman for HD consoles.

Pretty sure few fans whining had nothing to do with this

Hm, if we take attachment rates into consideration: 

ZombiU: 0,32Mil/2,6Mil = 12,3%

Assassins Creed 3: WiiU: 0,11Mil/2,6Mil = 4,2%//PS3+Xbox: 9,14Mil/143,6Mil = 6,3%

Actually not too much of a difference...

They just lost a  day 1 buy with this decision.  Now I will wait for this game on PS3, PC, 360 or WiiU  to fall below $10 (since I own all those systems and PC WILL happen)


I mean are they stupid? Rayman is a great IP but it can be even more successful . If they would have given this game to the already starving WiiU userbase they (the WiiU users) would have a new great game to buy and play Alot of people would love it and would become Rayman fans.

Sell it on PS3 and 360 a year later I dont mind but dont call the game exclusive and then push it back so the other versions come out that is in no way a smart business plan at all. There is no point at all in waiting for the almost or already completed WiiU version to be released. Its just a waste of money.

The best thing they could have done would have been to release the game on WiiU and without mentioning the PS3 or 360 version for about 6 months. Then announce the other versions with a release date 6 months after the announcement.

What they now did was turn an exclusive (something special) into something ordinary that might get down in the shuffle of other releases on 2 consoles that already have a ton of games.

Its in Ubisofts own interest that WiiU gets a bigger userbase but by announcing this unreleased exclusive turning into an ordinary multiplat title just hurt themselves.

I mean Konami did a stupid thing with MetalGearSolid on 3DS and before this was released they mentioned the HD collection for PS3 and 360 which totally made the 3DS game not worth the money.

Capcom and Resident Evil Revelations are the way to go!

Sometimes I wonder how so many people got so powerful/influential while at the same time being so totally retarded.

P.S. This is exactly why the third party has almost no chance on Nintendo hardware   they f*ck themselves all the time  and just show the Nintendo fans that the only company they can rely on is Nintendo. They keep showing how irrelevant they and that they are nothing the Nintendo fanbase needs.

because this was Nintendo's fault somehow? O_o

And there goes my only reason for buying a WiiU, I'll stick with my current consoles for now.
