Are they just delaying this to soften the blow of the cancellation later, like with Colonial Marines?
I don't think Ubisoft has thought that far ahead yet.
Their priority is getting five unique SKUs of Watch_Dogs (PS3, PS4, 360, XB1, PC) to release simultaneously by the end of June. All of their resources go towards that common goal.
Putting the Wii U version on the backburner is indicative of a future cancellation, but it doesn't necessarily imply that Ubisoft has already cancelled the Wii U version. Once Watch_Dogs goes gold, that's when they'll decide whether the opportunity cost is greater to have those guys return to release the Wii U SKU (despite knowing full well that a delayed version will hamper the already low sales the Wii U version would have accrued), or whether they'll go and work on other projects instead.
