He is just assuming that every game cost $ 1 million to port based on the ubisoft statement. In order to know how much rockstar need to sell to make a profit, first: he has to know how much will cost Rockstar to port a game like GTA based on internal numbers and second: he need to know how much they get in return for every copy sold. Since we don't have those numbers as evidence, assuming selling 100k = profit is wishful thinking at best. I doubt it cost $1 million to port a game like GTA, probably cost much more.

it's still just porting so your "much more" can't possibly differ much from the 1M standard. and it still doesn't change the fact that it would easily profit, establish the franchise on wii u, help wii u sales, be a great addition to wii u owners, good for everyone. Yet some people have to come here almost religiously, taking excuses for arguments out of their ass simply because THEY DON'T WANT WII U TO HAVE THE GAME.

I don't get this train of thought, you realise whatever discussion is had here has noa ctual baring on whether WiiU gets the game or not right?

My main reasoning as I said earlier in the thread is that I don't think the type of userbase that would buy GTAV is on the WiiU, but his point stands, you're just assuming, (as is he) as to how much a port would cost. It could cost 1m, it could cost 5m, Ubisoft can't give a figure and expect it to be one size fits all for the entire industry. GTAV games are in a whole other ballpark as well.
