if there was a wii U version you could add 20 to 30k to those numbers, Rockstar missed an opportunity again

LOL. 

we all know it would do at least 100k

If I remember correctly there was a petition to bring GTA 5 to WiiU and it only scored about 1000 signatures. It would have done awful as a multiplatform but sold millions and millions as an exclusive. But the only way they could've made it an exclusive would be if Nintendo just bought Take-Two all together, say, a year back. Take-Two had a relatively low market cap so Nintendo could easily afford them. 

It really wouldn't. One million lifetime as an absolute maximum. I don't think Nintendo has close to enough money to buy Rockstar out of the 30+ million sales they would be losing.

I dont think it works that way. Take-Two market cap in 2012 was only 1.11 billion USD. If Nintendo bought the company at that time, Rockstar would have no choice but to release GTAV as a WiiU exclusive. But buying exclusivity from Take-Two would be an entirely different matter.
