The Wii U was an amazing showcase on 3rd parties shooting themselves in the foot
EA ported Mass Effect 3, a game series where your choices are supposed to matter in the 3 games... On a console with only 3 (they had a thing where you could build a save file tho')... And then they released the Trilogy, at a lower price point than 3 Wii U... 2 weeks before 3 Wii U came out. And then apparently EA went around at the GDC saying games don't sell on Nintendo
Ubisoft had Rayman Legends that was supposed to come out at launch. It was delayed. Then around Feb, they released a demo with daily, weekly speedrun that EVERYONE was fucking playing. I swear to god the wikipedia article is not accurate, I swear it still had a beginning summer release date, even after the demo came out, but eventually was ultimately delayed so that it could launch on all platforms at the same time... Guess what, they released it like a week or so before GTAV. Lol. Lmao.
