Ubisoft says ZombiU 'unprofitable, no plans for sequel'
The game wasn't even close to making a return on the French publisher's investment, CEO Yves Guillemot reportedly told GamesIndustry International.
Guillemot is also said to have cited ZombiU's poor performance as the key factor behind switching Rayman Legends from a Wii U exclusive to a multiplatform game.
"We must find a way to ensure the creativity of those games could have a big enough audience," he said. "We hope it will take off. At the moment, we've said 'let's do through Christmas and see where we are from there.'"
Meanwhile, EA chief operating officer Peter Moore has expanded on the reasons for the publisher's recent lack of Wii U support.
He told GamesIndustry: "We were there with four games for them [at launch]. It's been a disappointment when you look at sell-through and, as a company, we have to be very judicious where we deploy our resources.
"The lack of online engagement that we see on Wii U [is troubling]," he added. "It's so integral to what we do. They're so small it's hardly worth running the servers. It seems like a box that's out of sync with the future of EA - which is one that gives a real social feel to our games. The Wii U feels like an offline experience right now."

RATFL33t-Ninja-MuchRATFShadowBoltDashieRATFShadowBoltDashieEstablishNinjaWizardTFM WiiU just needs to give up.
They're trying their best. The original Wii was great, but since then, they have been failing.
They've been failing since the Gamecube.
The Nintendo Wii did pretty good in sales, so has the 3DS. Way better than the Wii U. I would say after the 3DS is when they started to slowly fall.
the DS and Wii were the best
I was more of a fan of the GameCube, now I did have a DS Lite but I mostly played the GameCube.
as did i but then i started pushing towards the Wii and the DS
they do have some pretty fun rpg's for the wii and GC i have a 3ds but never play it due to theres no games i want yet
yh i loved the game cube
The GameCube was an excellent console for it's time. I still pull it out and play now and then. The Nintendo DS was pretty good as well so i can't really say that they have been failing since the GameCube though
