I'd say that whether or not GTA V makes it to the WiiU we can start making assumptions if WiiU will get strong 3rd party support. As far as I know WiiU will get a few year OLD games (Batman: AC) and games that might be one month old (AC3). Yes we'll get Killer Freaks on launch - but it still doesn't look good that we'll just get old ports for the most part.

All I'm saying is that Nintendo needs to sell the shit out of this console to get hardcore gamers attention, cuz a lot of the casual market have moved on...

Consider the cirumstances right now.  E3 has yet to even happen yet here is the known 3rd party game list thus far.

Aliens: Colonial Marines
Assassin's Creed III
Batman: Arkham City
Untitled Battlefield
Darksiders II
Untitled Dirt
Dragon Quest X: The Five Awakening Races Online
Untitled F1/Formula One
Killer Freaks from Outer Space
Lego City Stories
Metro: Last Light
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
Pikmin 3
Project CARS
Project Nova
Untitled Rabbids
Untitled Super Mario game
Untitled Super Smash Bros. sequel
Untitled Tekken
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online
Untitled The Legend of Zelda
Your Shape Wii U

 

10 of these 22 games are or will be rated M.  19 of the 22 are targeted at core gamers.  And as I aleady said, E3 is still to come.    Now look back at this period prior to the Wii launching.  It most certainly did not have such a huge mix of core dedicated 3rd aprty multiplatform titles.  Not even after E3.

 

Here is a list of Wii launch titles.   Look at the difference.

Avatar: The Last Airbender
Call of Duty 3
Crayon Shin-chan: Saikyou Kazoku Kasukabe King Wii

Does it really matter that 19 out of 22 semi confirmed games are targeted at the core gamers, if the core gamer don't buy the machine? The "core" already has a PS360 (or both), why would they bother buy the WiiU if it's only a little bit more powerful? Better wait for something even MORE powerful...
