Assassin Creed and Just Dance are not new ips, they are established and sales from other consoles can easily mask those of the underperforming Wii U version.

Lol you do know compagnies like Ubisoft can absorb the lost of few iteration right? But if they keep tranding in the red don't be surprised if you don't see them on the wii U in the future and also how come last gen when a high profile game like ass creed or just dance (the right for those tracks ain't cheap) were doing sub 500k it was pretty much confirmed as a financial flop yet this gen with the more powerfull wii U people think a game selling 250k or less is bringing money to it's publisher.  Haze must have been real huge success

They will cancel it, just not now, they don't need the bad press and backslash that comes from that type of annoucement.

i must agree that this game has somehow vanished from the collective mind

In general it doesn´t make much sense to release a game after the marketing campaign has ended, the game will sell even less this way.

Which is probably one of the reasons why Ubisoft is delaying the Wii U version, to get the other version out by June. With how much the hype for this game has died down, I can only imagine that it would get destroyed in sales, if it tried to compete during the holidays against Destiny, Cod, AC, Halo (remake or 5), The Order, whatever EA is going to put on the table during the holidays besides their sports games and anything else that comes out in these months.

Crazy that the PS3 and 360 versions are coming earlier

Why?

Ubisoft does not care about Watch_Dogs Wii U. They where right to focus resources and get it out earlier on the platforms that will actually get good sales first. As far as I'm concerned it may have been cancelled behind the scenes but they decided to just delay and release it anyway for formalities sake as one last litmus test to prove (not test) their existing conclusion.

We are quickly running out of space to put anymore nails on this coffin. Wii U == Wii in terms of third party support. This time Nintendo cant keep up with demand in regards to first party titles and the Wii U is selling so poorly there's little interest for unique exclusives unless explicitly paid for by the big N.

Who's fault? Nintendo for screwing up the Wii Us first year on the market so badly that there's practically no light at the end of the tunnel. Kart is the last glimmer of hope, smash to a smaller degree for the Wii U itself as a platform.

As far as 3rd parties are concerned its GAME OVER unless their games somehow manage to start selling at least 4x the amount they currently do (which wont happen). All the support it'll get from now shall be limited to select cross gen ports. Once the 360 and PS3 die you'd better be able to live with Nintendo and Indies and not much else.

The Wii U will have a respectable library when all is said and done. I have no problem with DreamCast 2.0 sales if it gets 1st party and exclusive games of that caliber over the course of its life (and it will). Though anyone hoping for parity with the other 8th gen systems with regards to AAA multiplats needs a reality check. Support it for what it is, and not what its not and your life will be so much easier.

My bet is that they took resources off the Wii U version to get the PS360 versions up to scratch, do you remember those godawful leaked screen shots?? A dev has been on record saying the Wii U version looks and runs better than the PS360 versions, and it was actually developed next to its next gen counterparts. Surely it would have been developed with the PS360 versions if it was going to be on par or weaker.
