Ubisoft explain why Rayman Legends is Wii U exclusive
“Well, technically we could to it with SmartGlass [for Xbox 360] and with the Vita being linked to the PlayStation 3. The possibility could be there, but we chose to really focus on Wii U specifically because it has a special toolset, and because everyone that buys it gets what they need to play the game.
We don’t want to have the player dependent on other technology that they have to purchase to make sure they can play the full experience. Here you buy the Wii U system, you buy the game, and you can experience all of the content without extras. And we didn’t want to give somebody half of the experience just for the sake of getting it out on another console. We want the player to get everything that we have to offer them from this game.” - Rayman Legends'level designer. Chris McEntee
This is what I've been saying all along. With the Wii U, you get everything you need in box. With the other platforms, a similar experience is possible, but you have to buy multiple devices. That hurts a bit more in the wallet area!
