I haven't had a legitimate "system seller" since the PS1/N64 days (wanted a PS1 for Spyro and an N64 for SM64). I bought a Dreamcast because it was $50, I wanted a PS2 off the strength of the PS1, plus the slew of games that were out by 2002. I got a PS3 off the strength of PS2 (can't say anything about the games as of November 2007, but 2 Playstations in a row being extremely fun? More than happily invested early). Got a 360 because I was given $200, so I traded in some games, and got the system for like $180. And I got the PS4 off the strength of Playstation, period, at this point (lower entry point, seeing MSs MO for the gen, and some other factors also influenced that).

If GTA V was WiiU exclusive, it'd just be one of those games that just wouldn't get played. Not since I was 8 years old did I think one game was worth a console purchase (I did want a 3DS just for Dream Drop Distance, because I absolutely love KH, but I didn't buy it myself or ask for it. Friend got it for me for Christmas on a whim because I mentioned the game. Similar situation for Birth By Sleep. Didn't get a PSP, friend let me borrow his PSP). There may be some games that I really really want to play, but unless I think the investment is worth it, I'm not dropping that kinda dollar on a console for one game. WiiU has many critically acclaimed games, but I don't care for Smash, Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, etc. And then, outside of that....what would I play on the WiiU? 

If GTA V was WiiU exclusive....I just wouldn't have played GTA V, I guess.

Wii U owner already, and I would definitely buy it. I've warmed up a lot more to the game recently.

You know... Despite having both a PS3 and PS4, I still have yet to play GTA V. I couldn't care less if it was a Wii-U exclusive.

It is interesting to hypothesize these things though, don't you agree?

I know you were making a hyperbole, but anything can happen in a hypothetical situation.

It would have definitely sold consoles and moved a lot of volume, but the total sales of the game across all platforms being what they are, the game just wouldn't have been played by nearly as many people.





The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

As much as I enjoyed GTA5 on PS3, I wouldn't have purchased a WiiU to play the game if it were exclusive.
