gtav on wii u = easy money for rockstar. if that's the stupidest thing ever, I don't know what would be considered clever.

According to this how much would GTA5 need to sell? cant be bothered working it out.

something between 100k and 200k. and we're talking about a possible million seller.

I don't think it could hit a million due to the size of the Install base of the WiiU I could see it selling around 500-600k max. My reason is the WiiU only has 2 games that have sold over a million and both of them are exclusives, the game that comes in at 3rd is a pitiful 480k and that was also an exclusive, the first real third party game comes in at 6 (im not going to include MH) which sold 250k. And COD which is a franchise as big as GTA if not bigger now only managed 190k and that was a good port not a half arsed one.

But lets say it needs 150k to break even, then they'll be sitting with a nice little profit at the end if it managed around 500k.

games released later tend to sell more than launch titles, shocking isn't it? besides gta has good legs, I wasn't saying it would do 1M imedeately but after some months and wii u's new installed base it's quite possible.

Its all relative, look at Lego City Undercover it ticks all the boxes released later TICK! Exclusive TICK Hyped TICK reviewed well TICK sales...well....It all comes back to the install base.
