Ubisoft are unlikely to have released official numbers, but all the signs are there. Wii U exclusives have been non-existent in the top tens in the largest markets in Europe, and the US.
Ubisoft have also passed comment a few times regarding what they see as a disappointing launch. Yesterday their CEO said this...

It's really no wonder Rayman Legends has gone multi-platform, it makes no sense to tap out of a revenue stream that has proved itself with the critically acclaimed original.
That's Activision's CEO and he's just concerned about not selling to enough kids.
I really don't understand the talk about a disappointing launch. Over 3 million units in a month and a half is really great. Compared to other console launches, Wii only sold 200k more and the PS3 and 360 both sold a lot less. If these companies are expecting the PS4 and 720 to blow away 3 million units during their launch, they are going to be very disappointed.
Also, I wouldn't focus too much on whether games for a new system reach the Top 10. Games are naturally going to be able to sell more when there is an install base of 70 million (PS3) or 75 million (360). I think the important factor is comparing the percent of console owners who own a game. When you do that the percentages for Wii U vs. PS3/360 aren't that different.
