I think your overestimating the NINTY fan and when i say fan im talking the zeolots who will ONLY buy NINTY products, there isnt that much of them out there as you think IMHO. ANd the WIi U will still just be out, could it sell a million?? possible 2 mil??  unlikely five mil?? Hell no. Keep in mind im not dont port, im sayign they should


I think your wrong on not admitting the entire tablet craze that is going on throughout the world.  I believe if marketed right Nintendo can ride to the top with the help of having a tablet like controller able to do many things that a basic controller can't do.  At first I was like bleh... that might be alright when I was first exposed to it.  I am decently impressed after watching a few Nintendo demo videos on what they are thinking of implementing for the controller.  I see the future and the future is Nintendo on top again.

When the DS launched touch controls were labeled as fad (now you have almost all phones being touch phones).  When the Wii launced motions controls were labeled as a fad (now you have all 3 with motion controls).  Tablets are already a fad before the Wii U launches so how can you not say it won't be a success if marketed right, has a good price point, and great games. 

I know you are talking about Nintendo fans buying GTV for a Nintendo system.  I am just stating that the Wii U will have a large install base.  It might not top the Wii but it won't be like PS2 - PS3.  I had to use someone's quote to go off on a rant about why their next system will actually sell and that third parties need to get their heads out of their asses.

I was sold on the tablet idea from day 1. Its not about, that even if it is as big as WII, there will be no gaurantee that a GTA5 for that system will do gangbusters, core games dont do gangbusters on WII
