The thing that makes this uncertain to me is the fact that the GameCube got shafted from the GTA games, so power isn't the only deciding factor. However, that may also be due to the fact that the games were gigantic and the 'Cube's discs were only 1.5 GBs, so it's possible. The GamePad could have a lot of nice supplementary uses.

Not because of the power of the system. Rockstar stated there was a GCN version of GTA 3 in the works and it was comparable to the Xbox version but it got canned because of the poor install base of the GameCube.

It's entirely plausible that the WiiU will get GTA V considering it uses 25GB single layer discs (have dual-layered discs been confirmed yet?) and GTA IV fit on a 9GB Xbox DVD.

Really?  That's kind of strange, considering the GameCube sold only about 2 million less than the Xbox lol.

It is strange. But back then, before sales websites, people thought the Xbox sold 3 times as much as the GameCube.

They still had access to things like NPD, though.  However, that only covered the US, and the 'Cube sold much better in Japan, so I guess they may not have known.
