I would hardly call it a "last chance". The Wii U gets more system sales, game sales will pick up. That includes third party. People need to quit talking about the Wii U as if it's a dead console walking. They fucked up the first half of 2013, but that is no reason to believe they can't and won't turn it around. Iwata and Reggie have both indicated that there are third party games in development for Wii U that we don't yet know about. Nothing is over till it's over.

I hope you're right, but the Wii's massive sales didn't secure it strong third party support.

wii had a good third party support, what it didn't have were multiplatforms and that was due to hardware limitaions, something that won't happen with wii u.

I have an eye on watchdogs. The other games dont interest me at all on any platform.

you really need to diversify your tastes then. Some decent games in that list.

I don't know, I wouldn't describe Wii's third party support as "good."

Yes, it did have good third party games (Monster Hunter Tri, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, Goldeneye 007, etc) but ultimately there weren't enough of them in my view. Only it's spectacular first party games put it on top overall.

Out of those games I'm looking at getting watchdogs I think.

Fuck it, after all Ubisoft's bullshit, today's delay is the last straw, I'm not buying Rayman. It was supposed to be out FOUR MONTHS AGO.
I'm not rewarding such behavior with my money.

I understand what you mean, it was messed up they pushed it back it would of sold just fine, much better than it would now, but they safe still bringing more games to the platform at least and I prefer them to EA.

I prefer them to EA as well, and I'm stil open to supporting Ubisoft by geting Watch Dogs, but I believe in voting with my wallet; I support companies and policies I approve of, and I don't buy from those I oppose. Consumer democracy, if you will. By  buying Rayman, I'd be indicating that it's acceptable to delay a finished game, and I won't do that.
