The Wii U version of Watch Dogs has been delayed, Ubisoft has confirmed.
The title is still on track to launch on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PC between April and June 2014, with the Wii U version following at a later date.
In a statement provided to VideoGamer.com following the announcement, a Ubisoft spokesperson said:
"We made the difficult decision to further delay the release of Watch Dogs on Wii U to focus the team's resources where they could have the broadest possible benefit for both our customers and Ubisoft".
The delay follows rumours that the Wii U version had been cancelled after pre-orders for the game were cancelled by GameStop Italy and its absence from Nintendo's release schedule.

Looking at Ubisofts Q3 results the WII U is just not profitable to them. To me this sounds like it has been quietly cancelled. It also reminds me of this.
