@Mr. Khan people who want GTA have made their console choice years ago...

I agree that the majority certainly have, but you do realize that tens of thousands of people around the world every day are buying their first games console, don't you?

Considering that GTA5 isn't even released yet, it's not absurd to assume that many new console owners - yes, even potential WiiU owners - may have an interest in the game.

You are aware, that releasing games is no charity? It's a business. R* want to make money. They don't care if Wii U manages to convice core gamers to itself or not. They just think about themselves, as it should be. I think that they will release a Wii U port later with the PC version. If not to sell many copies, then just to get some experience making games for the Wii U. But until Wii U sells a respectable number of consoles, you can't really demand all games that are very expensive to make and traditionally don't sell on Nintendo consoles. Just consider Vita. It's just a business, so forget about emotional arguments about hatred, being prejudiced or screwing Nintendo over, cause it's childish. Think how many developers went bust in the last 2 years. You say R* is huge? Think about THQ. If going to Wii U pays, everybody will do it.

Where did you get this idea of charity from?  My response to Oni had nothing to do with what you addressed in your response...

I'm trying to address the idea that since there are new gamers buying consoles all the time, and a few new gamers will even buy the Wii U, hence they should be able to buy a GTA V on the Wii U. It's just not realistic. But this response is also dealing with arguments raised by Mr. Khan, just didn't bother to quote each and every one of them.
