It wouldn't be an easy port, GTA V on ps3 and 360 was right at the end of their life when just about ever ounce of performance was extracted from those consoles. Both have significantly more memory bandwidth and cpu resources even if they have more limited memory and older gpu architectures. I think we are much more likely to get a compilation of ps2 era GTA games on a compilation cartridge than GTA V though.

Is this serious post!? Switch has much more raw power (not to mention architecture and tech gain) compared to PS3/Xbox360 that it could run any PS3/Xbox360 game at 1080p with better frame rate. Fact that Switch runs MK8D at 1080p/60fps proves that, same like few comparisons of multi platform games between Switch and PS4 versions. Switch power is somewhere between Wii U and XB1, and even Wii U is more stronger than PS3/Xbox360.

Of course its a serious post and you are completely wrong on your technical analysis, the reality is clear based on the evidence of many wii u games which struggled compared to 360 and ps3. Just go to digital foundry and look at their faceoff comparison's between wii u and 360/ps3 about 2/3rds show the wii u as weaker. The Switch still doesn't have as much cpu resources as xbox 360 let alone ps3. Lets not confuse simplistic cartoon graphics with repeated textures with games that require a high performance hardware. Zelda windwaker ran on a console with a 8 gflops gpu and still looks great today. Look at other gamecube games trying to do realistic graphics like medal of honour or call of duty and it looks pretty hopeless compared to today's graphics. I really wish people wouldn't use simplistic cartoon graphics to try an up the performance level of Nintendo hardware. It just brings the debate down to the farce level. Look at how the wii u performed running the same games as 360 and ps3 to get a fair comparison. We will obviously never know how the ps3 or 360 would run mario kart or how the wii u would have run uncharted but there are plenty of multi-format games for comparison.

Where is your evidence for wii u is much stronger than ps3/360? The spec's show many shortcomings with wii u and the real world proof also shows the wii u as weaker. What exactly is your evidence, some farcical imaginary comparison of cartoon graphics? Surely now the wii u is end of life we don't have to pretend anymore there is some magical future games that will finally show the wii u to be stronger.
