Activision to continue supporting Wii U
Speaking in an interview with CVG, Hirshberg said Nintendo has been a great partner in the past, despite some of the company’s hardware “hits and misses.”
“Nintendo has been a great partner for us. It’s had hardware hits and misses in the past, but it has always found ways to remain completely relevant,” he said. “It has some of the best game-makers in the world, and I wouldn’t count them out.
“Nintendo is a very successful company but obviously having a rough go with the Wii U launch thus far. I’m sure Nintendo and the rest of the industry wanted a different result for the Wii U, but if we can add to the appeal of the platform then we absolutely will.”
Hirshberg said success for Wii U, and all companies for that matter, are integral to the industry as a whole and he wants to see everyone succeed.
“I want all of the great games in this industry to succeed because more people will be playing games and that’s better for all of us,” he said.
One of Activision’s most successful franchises, Skylanders: Giants, was released on Wii and Wii U alongside PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2012 and its follow-up, Skylanders: Swap Force, will also release on Nintendo consoles in October.
Call of Duty: Ghosts will also be released on Wii U in November.

The Wii U has struggled so much this far, but I understand why they are still trying to support it.

They really should stop with the Wii-U, it is slowly becoming dead content. It should be laid to rest before more money is wasted on it.

ShadowBoltDashiePearityShadowBoltDashieSeem Why do they even support this anymore its useless.
Skylanders and CoD: Ghosts is going to be on the Wii U, so that's probably a reason. I don't know if they have any other games on the Wii U, but if they do, then that's why as well.
But they are near enough the only big developers who actually want to develop for the WiiU other than the Mario franchise Pokemon etc, I cannot see them lasting much longer but what are you going to do. If Activision want to support a dying console then that's up to them.
Well I do agree that is up to Activision, I don't have a problem with it at all. Just once Xbox One and PS4 come out, Wii U might be having such a struggle, more than it already is.
Obviously, those consoles are going to dominate all others.
