Did you guys here Watch_Dogs for Wii U is delayed? Apparently they're busy polishing up the versions that will actually sell. :P
It's clear as day Ubisoft is bailing on the system.
Maybe they are just working out extra cool gamepad features?

Looks like I'll start focussing more on PC gaming again. A shame because I have really really grown to love this console.

Hopefully it does actually come out and this isn't like Aliens: Colonial Marines (which to be fair was shit, but, the whole Wii U version getting "delayed" then disappearing off the face of the planet)

Just a heads up, I've been hearing some rumors that Sam's Club are clearancing Wind Waker HD Wii U Deluxe Bundles for $150.

All this doom and gloom about Wii U really depresses me, mostly because the system is actually great and there's some really fun games on it.

It feels like something that people will discover a few years from now and be like, "When did this happen when I wasn't looking?"

The BX has some 8GB models on clearance for $125, and they're still not selling. Most people I talk to either are unaware that the Wii U even exists, or they think it's a controller for the Wii.

Everybody is blaming the Wii U's name for its lack of sales, I do not believe that is the case here. Why did it not work with Xbox->Xbox 360-> XboxOne ?

Also, seeing how quick developers are quitting on the Wii U's console it looks like they are killing the system even faster. Are they not expecting a surge in Wii U's sales after Mario Kart and Brawl releases? Those titles always sold in the millions on past consoles IIRC.

Another point in the advantage of the Wii U, is that it had sold 5.4 million units. Techinically speaking a developer can selling 500k->1m games on that system (and there isn't much competition, so chances are higher) , and that number is more than enough to be a reason to create a game for any console. $30 game x 300k units sold = $9m , not bad is it?

If you can really get some for $150, Id pay you for one plus shipping and handling.
