| Soundwave said: Did any of these "hyper violent" games sell on the Wii? Mad World and House of the Dead ended up in the clearance/bargain bins pretty quickly. I don't think Bully or The Godfather did well either. Rockstar wasn't that happy with sales of GTA on the DS too, so that probably sealed the deal. There isn't a large enough market for this style of game for Rockstar to bother. |
Looked at the DS sales after your post. I did notice that the DS version (1.25m) sold more than the PSP Chinatown Wars (.96m). I didn't even know they put it on the PSP. The other PSP version did pretty good at 7.42m and 4.73m. I guess the DS version needed to sell at least 2-4m to make them happy. I suppose just more people that prefer GTA games are on Sony and Microsoft systems. I still don't see a reason why a port for the Wii U would be unwise for the next GTA. It shouldn't be that hard to port it over and even if it only sold 1-2 million they should still be making money.
