I'm not sure it will make a difference. If the world was a logical place and companies were run by competent management then it would. But just look at the Rayman debacle and what Ubisoft did with Watch Dogs..

I think that the Wii U is going to stand up pretty well against the competition this generation - but 3rd parties will still cut off their noses to spite their faces. And if they are not going to bother to bring quality ports/games to the Wii U then we're better off without them. 

The only optimistic position to take is that one day soon the big games companies will realise how badly they have been failing both financially and in terms of what they are bringing to the market and then we'll all be better off. 

That is horrifying … I really can't stand the direction gaming/entertainment is moving. It's like we're supposed to be happy just renting content and paying through the nose for the privilege. 

While they are probably right that just enabling them may have adverse effects in some circumstances depending on your set-up… it is still clear that they could have made an effort and brought the E3 levels to the PC as a supported setting. Sure you may need a really nice machine to get the full effect but it's hard to avoid the fallout from this. The fact they delayed the release for so long just makes it worse. And they had fair warning given all the complaining about the graphics downgrade.. 

It's just strange that in all these cases (I'm thinking of Rayman as well) it doesn't even appear to make financial sense.. Ubisoft have crashed in my estimations with such poor management.

Amazon.com has it for $18 more than the PS360 versions

Ouch that sucks.. It is a good game - but it's always best to buy at the price that suits you even if that means waiting. 

I'm not sure this is the game to make such a stand on. In the UK it was released at similar pricing across all platforms and if you shop around it's still much of a muchness. On Amazon the Wii U version is marginally more expensive - £16.82 vs £14.99 Xbox and £14.84 PS3. PC versions of a given game tend to fall in price quicker in general and on Amazon it's £10.03 and £12.85 on Shopto.  

Basically we're not seeing a case of complete rip-off pricing for this game in the market the OP was enquiring about.
