There are no plans to bring Rock Band 4 to the Wii U, at least not at launch. Does that mean it will never happen? It looks bleak, but Harmonix’s Daniel Sussman says they’ll start working on a Wii U version if there’s a demand for it.

The Wii U is a really hard call for us, but from our initial research the audience is not there yet, and I would be really psyched for there to be this public outcry of “Where is the Wii U? I will absolutely throw money at you and I wanna buy it and preorder it!” and all that. And then we start working on it.

Perhaps what’s most alarming is that they haven’t started working on it. It’s one thing to prioritize your resources to bring a popular game to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One first and then bring it to other platforms later, but usually even a small amount of resources are still put towards those secondary platforms at the beginning if there’s any true intention of a release in the near future.
