Excellent point. Ubisoft has put it's money where it's mouth is by showing it's support for the WiiU in a really good way. People may say that it's "Ubisoft" and it's a "launch title" as a pre-generated excuse for failure, but I think after reading many impressions and previews across the web things are looking good.
I agree with Dcubed and also want to see ZombiU become a success, Ubisoft have tried to make something special, they have also made good use of the Gamepad's features to make it a fresh and enjoyable experience. They could have easily played it safe, but I believe they're doing the industry justice and leading by example after looking at the route that ZombiU has taken.
Other developers may well look at ZombiU as an example of risk & reward and will hopefully inspire them to produce more fantastic titles with great gameplay and intuitive design making use of the tools available to them in the form of the WiiU Gamepad & Miiverse.
