Just get it on your PS3 if you want the game. It probably will later release on PC, maybe PS4XBO down the road, but not Wii U.

Yeah i would get it on my PS3, the reason i want it on Wii U is because i am not going to be a multi console owner this gen like previous. I really cant afford it, so if GTA V made it to the Wii U and did ok sales wise, then perhaps future GTA games will appear on the system in the future. i then wouldnt have to purchase another console to play these types of games. COD Ghosts, AC 4,Arkham Origins ,Splinter Cell and Watch Dogs is a good start though for 3rd party offerings.

Sorry to say but if you are really interested in getting alot of the big multi-platform games and you only want one system the Wii-U really isn't the right choice. Though is assume you are really wlike Nintendo's franchises aswell?

yeah im primarily a Nintendo gamer, and their franchises are always my priority as they appeal to me the most. However one of the main excuses 3rd party devs used with Wii was that it simply wasnt powerful enough. Wii U has rectified that to an extent, and even though it isnt as powerful as xbone/ps4, multiplat ports wont be as gimped as Wii ones. To sum it up, i was hoping Wii U was going to get more of a balance of 3rd party games to compliment their excellent 1st party titles. Some of these titles like Batman and Watchdogs are coming so great, but other 3rd parties are shunning the console which is a shame.

Well i expect that if Wii-U sales would pick up that later in the generation once Wii-U's install base becomes bigger developers will port to the system more. Right now though they are waiting it out. One of my mates is interested in picking up a Wii-U and i recommended him to wait until more bigger titles have come out, and i definitely expect a price cut before then(if you're waiting for a new Zelda, Mario Kart etc. there really isn't much reason to buy one till next year).

Maybe they will port GTA V later, it shouldn't be much trouble porting the 360 version to the Wii-U and i expect the game to be ported to PS4/Xbox One aswell. Day one on release on Wii-U though? No real chance i think.
