Take-Two thinks GTA on Wii is laughable

Take Two is one of the companies that is most at risk of going bankrupt due to the success of the Wii because they fail to take advantage of it ... At the same time, Take Two would be one of the companies most at risk of going bankrupt if the XBox 360 or PS3 were as successful ...

 

That's laughable...  The Wii is only ahead of 360 by about 2 million.  And GTA is really a North American title where 360 is ahead of Wii by over 2 million.  And GTA isn't exactly the same market demographics as WiiSports fans.  Take Two is not doing great financially...  But, a few million sales of GTA IV on 360 and PS3 will change that problem.  Not to mention the Bully Scholarship sales (360 and Wii) and the Midnight Club (360 and PS3) sales...

By the way...  How many 3rd parties are raking in the money from the Wii?  And how's that Wii attach rate?  What real incentive is there for a 3rd party to go Wii?  Especially for a game that is the ultimate gamer's franchise?  Not to mention Wii has the highest royalties and you have to sell your game $10 cheaper to sell it...

 

Dude, check this out:

Wii has been moving more software than 360 for a month now. Imagine what they might move if 3rd parties were actually investing money in the games they put on Wii?

Dude.... Take out the bundles and the first party games and where does that leave the Wii?
