GTA V would be great for Nintendo. But Nintendo has superior games on sales. Not just that but on quantity also. Remember, one game will not do much as a complete library. Nintendo has been releasing their library since Pikmin 3. |
No, nothing beats GTA V
Anyway, I don't think it would have had much impact. I doubt that it is going to bring in many new gamers who didn't want to play GTA IV and any gamer interested in GTA type games is going to be better served with a PS or Xbox.
I think it might be effective if it was the start of a long campaign from Nintendo to ensure the big 3rd party games also came to the Wii U without being comprimised. The problem is that I feel they are behind on online such that the 3rd parties miss out on all their extra revenue that they need/want.

Ni, nothing beats GTA.
GTA on WIi U wouldnt have much impact
Then it obviously isnt that important of a game.
"The problem is that I feel they are behind on online such that the 3rd parties miss out on all their extra revenue that they need/want."
What? That doesnt even make sense. Either you are saying because the Eshop doesnt have as many options as PSN live, developers wont get sales because of less competition. OR You dont realise Wii U has DLC. OR you actually think they make money off of people playing online. Either one, it just doesnt make any sense at all. However I from your past post that it doesnt need to make sense as long as its negative about them but that is probably the silliest comment I have ever read and I frequent N4G dude.

The rest of the post explains why I don't feel it would have much impact. It is still going to be the best game of the year
I know it has DLC, but it doesn't like things like Origin (EA) or all these weird persistent universes. There is obviously a reason that some third parties have been skipping Wii U and I think part of it is the online set up. I know that is improved this gen, but I still think that it is behind PSN and XBL. They also do effectively make money from people playing online, that is the whole strategy that the main 3rd parties have been going for this gen. Keep people playing online, so they don't sell the game, and so they can sell them map packs, very simple.
Essentially, the issue boils down to Rockstar Social Club. Will Nintendo allow that service to work on top of their own online infrastructure and take information from the games elsewhere or will they stop that as that is very important for GTA Online.
