Some people are way too accepting about this kind of behaviour from developers. Publishers and developers must be having a great time now, going "I cant believe some gamers actually tolerate our BS.lol"

IDK.. To me it seems like it's better not to release the game at all rather than releasing it months later and watch it bomb even harder thanks to the delay..

If this had happened to any other system imagine the unhappyness

Anyway customers are not wrong to complain about a bait & switch, about something they were promised but didn't get

The Publisher handled this bit of PR terribly, and are fully to blame for missleading their customers, defending this behaviour is beyond belief 

This company knows what they're talking about.

Why would someone play a SIM racer with a controller? Racing Wheel is a must with sim racers.

People are chining over every little delays nowadays, remember when we got every games and consoles a year late in europe ?

With such a delay for a version that probably won't sell as much as the others, people should be glad the version is not cancelled.

True. Its sad to see some people blaming the gamers for this. No wonder developers and publishers take advantage of gamers, they cant even stand together when their fellow gamers are getting screwed. The more important thing for them is "I chose the right system to play my games on and you chose the wrong one. Not my problem"

Yeah everyone getting this game on all systems has a wheel

People make choices 

The ones that wanted the Wii U (which appears to be a lot) have a gyro controlled wheel thats included with every game, not to mention touch control interface on every controller by default

The poll does suggest that the Wii U is the most anticipated. Why? Because people not-on-the-internet don't know about the game yet. Note that I said anticipation, not sales, so I don't know why you mentioned sales. But here's the key - the more avid the fan, the more they'll talk up the game to others, which drives interest without need for advertising. If Wii U Project Cars fans on the internet were so avid as to have such an impact on the polls, to be so vocal now, etc, then imagine what happens when they tell all of their friends about what happened... and they're not going to tell their friends "these guys screwed Wii U over, so go and buy the game on another system".

And the point about the blue ocean is that it's not just something to do with "casuals". It's about selling to people who haven't been catered to before. And it's not entirely about current Wii U owners; it's also about future Wii U owners. And if Project Cars had been THE racing sim of the Wii U, then all the people who bought a Wii U with the game become fans specifically of that series, and when Project Cars 2 comes along, they buy that, too. It's a lot harder on a system with more competition because you have to outdo them, do so in a way that captures a lot of fans, and then manage to remain ahead of the competition with future releases.

As for the drought analogy, I think you need to learn what an analogy is, because it's not meant to capture every facet perfectly. The whole point of the analogy was to explain the concept of supply and demand to people like you who don't seem to comprehend it.

You know what really saddens me? The way that so many gamers respond to this situation by going "Wii U players are being unreasonable"... but have no problem whinging when Bayonetta 2 is Wii U exclusive. The way that so many gamers will place companies over their fellow gamers. The way that they default to apologism, and attack the fans who are disappointed for daring to be disappointed and upset.
