@ Celb :Remember; Rockstar NEVER supported Nintendo consoles (Except for a 2D GTA for GBA... Ghehe) And now they've got 3 games up their sleeves for the system! And there HAVEN'T BEEN ANY announcements for PS3 from Rockstar since the system started selling poorly!... That's a plain fact! They just jumped the PS3's ship in the assumption that it would do fine... Just as it's predecessors! But now that PS3 is doing Gamecube numbers and Wii doing PS2 numbers you can definitely see a shift! And that shift is in 'New game announcements' so when those PS3 games from Rockstar come out... And no further announcements are made for PS3 but for Wii then u can see a shift! Which is not clear to some of you a.t.m.!

 The only thing clear is Wii owners are happy about second rate game ports from rockstar, Wii must really be hurting for real games a.t.m.

 The got 2 ports and pingpong, you might wnat to come down.  They are not even giving the wii a port of their best game.

 


 

Ahh... U know it too deep in your hart! GTA Wii is just a matter of time! If ur beloved PS3 keeps selling the way it did in the rest of the year... I don't see how a GTA couldn't come to Wii...! It is just starting! If those ports sell well! Or bring up more cash then GTA for PS3 then more games will come to Wii...! And with a userbase about 3 times the size of the PS3's... It is just a matter of time before that happens! Goodnight!

Celb, knock it off.

Rockstar didn't want anything to do with Nintendo up until now, so yes, this is a big step, even if it is receiving ports of other games.

So, since a Table Tennis game is so useless on the Wii, explain to me how a Golf game is going to improve PS3 sales, won't you?



PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)

If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...
01/08: (008w) +875.8%, 04/08: (021w) +344.4%, 07/08: (034w) +219.3%, 10/08: (047w) +163.5%
01/09: (060w) +131.8%, 04/09: (073w) +111.4%, 07/09: (085w) +098.1%, 10/09: (099w) +086.7%
If Wii sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass Wii by...
01/08: (008w) +1072.%, 04/08: (021w) +498.4%, 07/08: (034w) +363.4%, 10/08: (047w) +303.1%
01/09: (060w) +269.0%, 04/09: (073w) +246.9%, 07/09: (085w) +232.6%, 10/09: (099w) +220.3%
If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%
2012: (217w) +0064.9%, 2013: (269w) +0033.1%, 2014: (321w) +0011.5%, 2015: (376w) -0004.8%
At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

Last update: Week ending November 3, 2007

Yeah that's wat I meant to say.........

Now that I think about it the GTA games have never been pinacles of graphical superiority so I see no reason why an upcomming one wouldn't be able to float by on the Wii's power. But I could very well be wrong, who knows.

Didn't the Gamecube get a single Rockstar game? something like outrun or treasure run? Apparently it was a port and not many stores even carried it.

Either way, to have 3 upcoming games during the first year of development is a pretty big increase.

ya Rockstar had Smuggler's Run Warzones exclusive to the gamecube.

I have no doubt in my mind that many so called "next-gen" exclusives will be ported over to the Wii in due time. There is too much of a moarket for them not to. I also see this belief that flagship series will never make to the Wii argument to be total bullocks.

The only reason they aren't currently being made and we're seeing so many spin offs is that 1) No one expected the success of the Wii to be anywhere near what it is. 2) Devs are still experimenting with the new controls. It really doesn't have anythign to do with whether devs are commting to the system or not.

 Exactly. Yes, big titles are still being made for the PS3 but it isn't like it was decided to do so in the face of crappy sales because of any loyalty or the console's power. It was because the previous console race dictated that Sony would dominate again. Now that they're floundering, we're seeing announcements of a support shift to the Wii. Because games take time to make, we won't be seeing the big third party games until next year and after.

 



Current systems owned: Wii, 360. I'll get a PS3 when hell freezes over!... or when the price drops to a reasonable level. Whichever comes first.

Wii will not get GTA 4. It might get a spinoff or spinoffs of GTA.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
