You forgot the 0,000000000001% probability (because the zero risk doesn't exist, I'm afraid). No seriously the question is : can you expect there will be any audience for GTAV on WiiU? Just to remind you that Crystal Dynamics excluded a WiiU Tomb Raider although Underworld was ported to Wii (because they thought there could be a market). This is not about power, it's about the audience you address to.

Who knows what demographic you can expect on the Wii U? These things don't always stay consistent from generation to generation. For example, the PS2 was the console of the masses as well as gamers, and yet the PS3 is nowhere close to having the same wide demographic today. The only thing for certain is that Nintendo fans will buy it. We'll have to wait and see who else does, and that would be shaped on games like this turning up or not.

The good games have to be there for the audience to be there, as well.

 

I suppose it's the chicken and the egg situation; some devs will be scared because they put bad games on Wii and when they didn't sell well, they blamed it on the console and its audience. It's my opinion that Wii could have attracted a more core audience if the good third party games were there. But the truth is those games went to the 360 and PS3 early on and so did the audiences.
