Why would Ubisoft and Activision have to release games to "appease" Nintendo? I highly doubt that, at a time when their console is doing so poorly, they'd snub 2 of the 3 largest publishers from releasing casual games because they didn't release their AAA ones too. Besides, Nintendo makes a cut off every software sale, so preventing them from releasing Just Dance hurts their bottom line too. The whole idea is nonsensical, and Nintendo would find itself in even worse standing with third parties if it came out they were threatening to blackball major publishers. It would also squelch their indie momentum too.
My statement was confirmed by both Ubisoft and Activision when they initially announced that their 2013 AAA lineups were coming to Wii U. Here's a statement by Ubisoft's Alain Corre
"We believe in Nintendo," he said. "Nintendo is a company that has proven in the last 30 years that they are able to fascinate tens of millions of gamers.
"Nintendo is a great game creator; they are magic to a lot of gamers. And we've had a lot of great experiences with Nintendo in the past, such as the Wii and the Just Dance franchise. It has become one of the major franchises on the Nintendo system and is growing on Wii U."
Eric Hirshberg of Activision made similar statements. You have to read between the lines a bit, but the clear implication is that Ubi/Activision wants to sell their casual games on Nintendo hardware. On the other hand, their hardcore games for Wii U have limited print runs and no advertising, so I think we can put 2 and 2 together
That's really not reading between the lines, because you're projecting your assumption onto that quote and then deriving your assumption back out of it. The statement doesn't mention anything about AAA games or their reasoning for releasing them. It seems to be a straightforward confirmation that the Wii audience ate up Just Dance.Eric Hirshberg of Activision made similar statements.
