I don't see GTA selling that great on the Wii U anyway so what's the point. The audience for that game is pretty firmly on the PS3/360 and isn't moving to the Wii U to be able to play the game with a map on the touchscreen.

That's a load of bull Soundwave. I know quite a few here, in these very forums, who own both a wii and a HD-twin. Now, why is that? Is that because they are happy with only playing Nintendo games? Obviously not! They have the HD twins so that they can enjoy 3rd party games as well!

There are a few, though how many fit into that "quite" categorey is debatable. Few might be the operative word there. 

Rockstar did make an exclusive Grand Theft Auto for the Nintendo DS when it had a massive userbase, and they were dissapointed with its sales. The Wii also got ports of things like Godfather and Bully which generally flopped. I get their skepticism. The demographic just isn't there and it's not Rockstar/Take 2's job to build it.  

Putting a AAA franchise and think it'll generate as much money as on a home console is plain stupid. VERY few franchises can do that. Just look at the Vita; AAA games don't belong on hand helds. So, bad example.

If the only thing that seperates consoles were the first party line up, Nintendo would win by a land slide; If Wii U were just as good as PS720 and received the same amount of 3rd party support it would crush the competition. THEN it would truely be a console for both hardcore and casual. I just wonder if Nintendo gets this...
