lol, he may have been doing some serious reaching with some of his points, but you gotta admit there was some truth to his very, very long OP. XD

Rayman was delayed for a simultaneous release, because Ubisoft wanted to reduce the risk of it being a flop due to the low Wii U install base. Although their apparent lack of confidence in the Wii U angered a lot of Wii U owners (me included), it was a perfectly reasonable business decision. Even with the simultaneous release, Ubisoft announced that Rayman Legends missed its sales target. It is still just under 1 million sales. Looking at today's VGChartz global estimates for the game, it's interesting to note that its sales are broken down as 33%, 30% and 25% for the PS3, Wii U and X360 respectively, with the remainder shared between the Vita, PS4 and X1.

As a result of that delay, Rayman Legends got 30 more levels, several new bosses and more polishing. So, as a result of Ubisoft hedging their bets, we all got a better game for it. Had it not been delayed, and had it not been made multi-platform, sales would have been worse, the game wouldn't have been as good, and Watch Dogs might never have even been on the cards for Wii U in the first place.

As for delaying Watch Dogs on the Wii U - senior producer Dominic Guay said:

"It's also an interesting platform, because it has its own strength, which we want to take advantage of, and we didn't want to delay all the other platforms for that one. So we're going to take the time we need to make sure the game is good (technically) when we ship it and that it also, game design-wise, makes good use of the specifics of the Wii U." (Source)

Ubisoft recognise the Wii U strengths - in Guay's words "...we want to be ambitious with it" - this tells me that they want a polished version of Watch Dogs that will make the best of the Wii U's features. I, for one, would rather deal with the frustration and wait for that, than pick up some half-baked, lazy-arsed port.

Ubisoft are delaying Watch Dogs for Wii U so they can go that extra mile to make sure it is outstanding, and rather than being boycotted, they should be applauded for it.

It's a well known fact that, historically speaking, most so-called "Nintendo gamers" don't tend to pre-order NEARLY as much as the PS/XB generation of gamers do.

So? THat makes my point even stronger. If Ubi sees the numbers they are most likely not going to want to support it. What you really thought that Watchdogs would have sold as well as the other versions. Cause historically speaking, 3rd party multiplats do much worst on WIi U. Hell look at MP games between Wii U, PS4 and ONE big difference and you cant even say userbase.

MY point was, that even for Nintendo brand games, most "Nintendo Gamers" tend to pick games up after they release, not go out and pre-order them at Gamestop every time a new "AAA" blockbuster title gets announced. Meaning, that most of them are not part of the "Gamestop Generation" culture.

So Ninty gamers dont preorder, thats fine. But they still end up buying their Ninty games and not much else. Recent sales show that. My point is that preorders show an interest in a game. Hell you're not even right about that. Even Ninty's own games show up on the preorder charts. MK8 is there right now. DKC before that. Where are the 3rd party games for WIi U?

My point is that at no point was Watchdogs on the preorder chart when every other version was on it.
