He said it may ship this year.

"“We don’t have a specific ship date for it yet so it’s considered within the year."

Sounds pretty exact to me.

Either way, if it takes them until 2015 to do what should be touch-up work, by that point they might as well indeed cancel it.

even if it is just late this year (like Nov/Dec) they might as well just cancel it. by that time watchdogs will be worth $20 or less on every other platform. They'll put it up on wiiU for $60 and it will flop guarenteed. who's going to pay a $40 premium for the little touches the gamepad will bring? i would guess next to no one.

It's going to flop either way ... I don't think Ubi Soft really cares if the Wii U version only makes up 2% of total Watch Dogs sales versus say 3% or something. I think honestly at this point they're just porting it probably because they already started to do some work on it, and want to stay in Nintendo's good graces. If they knew the Wii U was going to turn out the way it has, likely there would not be a Wii U version at all.

Bucharest? Were this the ZombiU guys? And this game better comes in an edition already including DLC, to make up for the delay.

I'm pretty sure the Rayman team in France did ZombiU.

Don't really know what Ubisoft Bucharest have worked on. Think they're just a porting studio.

You're right. But Bucharest was involved in ZombiU:

"and we didn’t want to delay all the other platforms for that one"

but it's okay to delay a finished game on wii u for 7 months, right? Ubisoft should just f*ck themselves for this big spit at their consumers face.

I don't think this would sell that great even if it was day and date with the other versions.

Batman Arkham Origins, Assassin's Creed IV, and Call of Duty are all higher profile/more well know IP that launched day and date on the Wii U with other formats and they all bombed. I don't really see what the expectation for this game would be.

your negativity is annoying. those games didn't bomb and watch dogs was already set to do much better than AC 4 on wii u. now it may do worse.

Nice to make good use of the gamepad but i wish they could release it at the same time.

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

This actually raised my expectations for the game a lot. May yet preorder.

I think it'll sell better than AC series on WiiU.

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
