On platforms greatly preferred by their target audience; an audience that would never consider buying Wii U versions of those games.

No real GTA game has been on a Nintendo system, we have no way of knowing if they would buy it.


You don't actually believe this yourself, do you?

 

The signs are everywhere.

Yes, the signs are everywhere.

Like CoD3 selling far worse on Wii than on the other systems... oh, right, it sold better than the PS3 and not much less than the 360 version.

So maybe it's more like that violence-fest, No More Heroes, which performed poorly on Wii and then great on PS3 and 360... oh, sorry, it was the other way around.

Perhaps you mean something like Goldeneye, which was far superior on PS3 and 360, which is reflected in sales... oh, what's that? Sold more than the PS3 and 360 versions combined?

The fact is, quality titles sell well on Nintendo systems when they're advertised. If GTA were put on Wii U, and made with the quality that other GTA games typically have, and it were actually advertised, it would sell well. When Nintendo systems get inferior ports of titles, as pretty much every title involving shooting, open world, etc, have been so far, they sell poorly. Of course, developer laziness on Nintendo systems results in this inferiority, which causes the lower sales, which is then used as justification for putting less effort into the next one.
