M. Pachter: 'Nintendo's new console needs GTA, Call of Duty and FIFA to avoid Wii U disaster'

I agree with CoD and Fifa. GTA has never been on a Nintendo system, and when it has been (ChinaTown for the DS) if flopped, I think the first time a GTA game actually flops. 

GTA 1 and 2 came out on Gameboy and GTA Advance released on GBA and they did flop.  Chinatown Wars on DS actually sold decently with 1.33 million on DS and a little more than 1 million on PSP.  Also, GTA 2 on Dreamcast flopped.

 

Funny that Pachter calls for several games of which the Wii U did have.  Doesn't he realize that's irrelevant to the success of a Nintendo console? 

I didn't remember the GBA games at all, didn't even know they existed. Chinatown sold a bit more than a million, but in a console that sold more than 150m units, I'm sure they expected way more.
