2 mill
I wouldn't be surprised to see the 360/PS3 versions disappear completely and the game turn out to be a next gen title all along.
It didn't surpass the Wii phenomenon in sales.Didn't the Wii U sell 3 million units in 2 months? How is that bad? Or am I wrong.
I wonder what Guillemot means by that. A Wii U rebranding and relaunch, perhaps?
Not really...
First parties care about that, Ubisoft doesn't.Seems likely. Gotta get people to buy new systems and ya can't do that if you keep giving them stuff on the old ones.
Hes saying the titles we have planned will come out after Nintendo starts releasing their big hits and the machine starts selling more
I would think so. They said they delayed Rayman cause the fans wanted it on the other systems, so that logic should work in reverse. I expect it to release the same day as other versions and trust that ubi will delay all versions if necessary.
wiiu forcast to march is 4millSold 2 million, shipped 3 million. In the same time period of the 360 and PS3 launches, they shipped 2 million.
wiiu forcast to march is 4mill
ps3 in the same period shipped 3.6mill and that is only with 1 week of eu sales vs wiiu 4months
ps3 was not considered a good launch

It didn't appear on Oprah.
Put me in the camp that says hardware upgrade and slight rebranding. Keep the name WiiU, new version in grey that is in the rough specs range of Orbis/Durango. You heard this fellow on multiplats, Nintendo won't have a wedge of that 'big games' pie and if the customer base isn't there there's no incentive to develop anything but shovelware pipeline.

Anyway, I wouldn't read too much into Guillemot's statement. Sounds like a rushed PR move to counter the eactions to Rayman's delay.
Translation: "After wasting our time With Rayman on Wii U we will shower the stupid Wii U audience with our usual shovelware!!"
Nice future ahead :/
I mean its kind of reasonable but the best part, and trust me you will see the revelation if this happens, Grey Wii U will still not get 3rd party support its that simple.Put me in the camp that says hardware upgrade and slight rebranding.

This.
The UPlay Miiverse community is going so ballistic right now that even the censoring can't keep up...
But wouldn't that mean everyone that has the current Wii U would have to buy the upgrade?

Ambassador program? Being very pessimistic of Nintendo at the moment, pardon me.
Not sure what this means but..Could you upload some pictures? I don't have a WiiU and still i'd like to see it.
But seriously, this is actually a very realistic scenario of how western third-parties sees Nintendo.
Can we hope for Watch_Dogs ?

I am a huge Nintendo fan. despite the fact that I have been hating Ubisoft for years, I was pleased to see they were the only ones to truly support the system. I almost bought a ZombiU bundle, but I had to step back for financial issues at the time.
But witnessing this move, I am speechless. Had they release rayman end of february on Wii U then announce later the port, it would have been expected. We all knew Rayman was going multiplatform after some time. But this way of doing things... To anounce a few weeks before both delay and loss of exclusivity I am truly speechless.
I truly think Ubisoft is a shitty company.
Rayman won't be Ubisoft's final effort on Wii U, despite the platform's struggle to sell, even as it loses its position as a high-profile exclusive.
