"CoD, AC, every other third party multiplatform, every third party exclusive, every first party game. None of them have managed to sell as well as GTAV PS4." Relevance to this discussion? None. ps4's higher base and GTA's franchise size make that possible. we are, howerver, talking about wii u sales. "Why should Rockstar ignore the customers who held off buying for the PS3/360 or the ones willing to double dip? Clearly there were a lot of them" Who is telling them to ignore people who buy the same game twice? I'm telling them not to ignore people who doesn't have acess to the game but wants to. their treatment to wii u was as unprofessional as it gets. |
Considering you are making the argument that a Wii U port would have made more sense than PS4/XBO ports, I'd say those sales have a lot of relevance. 10 months before GTAV I doubt Rockstar was looking at the sales of other third party games on the Wii U and saying "Yeah, we need to get in on this.". Also, the PS4 already had a higher base than the Wii U by the time the port was announced. So if the higher base made those sales possible, surely the PS4 port made more sense. Rockstar/TT is in this to make money, not satisfy some sort of access quota.
Well you are acting like the fact that PS4/XBO owners might have also owned a PS3/360 is a reason that those versions make less sense. You might not be saying to ignore them outright, but you are at least saying they are lower priority. Also, seriously, "as unprofessional as it gets"? How was Rockstar unprofessional? Just because they didn't release a game on the Wii U? Are you as incensed over them not having an Android version or an Ouya one? What about PC? Already an established audience there and yet they were strung along for a year and a half.
