I had noticed a surprising amount of people had gotten a Wii U specifically for Legends. The delay for the Wii U version doesn't make any sense because from what we know, the game is completely done and was ready for the release on the 26th. Also, considering the original was made with the intention of it being Wii U exclusive, the game is almost guaranteed to play better on the Wii U. The PS3 and 360 ports are going to essentially be Rayman Origins +. It will still be a good game, but you're not going to get the "new experiences" that were supposed to come along with the Wii U release.
I don't know why anyone is surprised they announced ports, though. With the release of a Rayman game comes an obscene amount of ports. That's just how it's always been. Every exclusive game that's come out was usually exclusive to a handheld. (ie: R3 GBA and Hoodlums Revenge)
Also, with any luck, the Wii U will come out with some pretty good games. Everything I've heard about the console has been positive thus far, all it needs now is some good games. The delay of Legends and its now non-Wii U exclusive status is going to hurt the Wii U pretty badly.
