While the sales may not match the HD console versions of the same game, they easily will cover the porting costs, and it would be really bad business to ignore the Wii U.

Indeed it would be lose-lose.

more like a lose-stalemate. Ninty would lost out cause they want that core audiecne but RS isnt losing anything the game will do gangbusters on PS360 by itself, not even counting PC version. Sure they can make more money, but the wont go bankrupt if they ignore Wii U

No, it's "lose-lose." Nintendo's console will do just as good as it was going to do with or without GTA (game's not really a killer app in and of itself anymore), but the loss of a game of its caliber sets a negative precedent for third party support. Meanwhile, sure Rockstar doesn't lose much by avoiding Wii U in the short run (comparatively. An easy $30 million is nothing to sneeze at), but they then will not be established as a name on the Wii U, and will find it harder to break into the market later

Just like the Wii's third party situation was lose-lose, it will be bad all around should Take Two choose not to force Rockstar to take the plunge.

Ah, true. It is a big lose for Nintendo, as it could hinder the "Capturing the core strategy". Less of a loss for Rockstar, unless Wii U nevertheless truly becomes the dominant console (Go Nintendo!!), in which case yeah failing to produce GTA V on Wii U would drastically reduce the visibility of the franchise and considerable affect future sales, in contrast with the scenario where R* were there from launch, the get-go.

Good point MISTER!

Ninty's the one trying to get the core, GTA is a big core game no way  around that. RS doesnt need to really support a Ninty console right now, theyve been fine without doing so. But then again its vice versa

I think your overestimating the NINTY fan and when i say fan im talking the zeolots who will ONLY buy NINTY products, there isnt that much of them out there as you think IMHO. ANd the WIi U will still just be out, could it sell a million?? possible 2 mil??  unlikely five mil?? Hell no. Keep in mind im not dont port, im sayign they should


I think your wrong on not admitting the entire tablet craze that is going on throughout the world.  I believe if marketed right Nintendo can ride to the top with the help of having a tablet like controller able to do many things that a basic controller can't do.  At first I was like bleh... that might be alright when I was first exposed to it.  I am decently impressed after watching a few Nintendo demo videos on what they are thinking of implementing for the controller.  I see the future and the future is Nintendo on top again.

When the DS launched touch controls were labeled as fad (now you have almost all phones being touch phones).  When the Wii launced motions controls were labeled as a fad (now you have all 3 with motion controls).  Tablets are already a fad before the Wii U launches so how can you not say it won't be a success if marketed right, has a good price point, and great games. 

I know you are talking about Nintendo fans buying GTV for a Nintendo system.  I am just stating that the Wii U will have a large install base.  It might not top the Wii but it won't be like PS2 - PS3.  I had to use someone's quote to go off on a rant about why their next system will actually sell and that third parties need to get their heads out of their asses.

Let's say that there's around 10-20m hardcore Nintendo fans that will definetly buy the WiiU (I don't think it'll sell beneth that number anyways) - and how many of them would get GTA for the system? 10%? More? Less? Let's just say that some of them will end up buying the game on PS360/PC and that the game COULD sell 1-2m units on the WiiU. Does this justify a port? I don't know... GTA in itself is a brand that has to be taken care of. would R* port it to WiiU if it risked tanking?? That would hurt the very name GTA, no?

And considering that the game most likely will come out in the early life of WiiU, the chances of a port gets even smaller since there's no instaled user base to buy the game...



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I'm a person who would buy a GTA5 on the WiiU, and are not willing to buy a 360/PS3 to play the same thing

That the Wii U will get GTA5 is obvious. All the developers praise the Wii U-Devkits and how easy it is to port PS360 games to Wii U.

Even the DS got a GTA-Game and it sold better than the PSP-Version. So will Rockband pass 1-2 Million safe GTA5 sales on Wii U, even in the Launch-Phase? Obviously not. And Nintendo and Rockband showed some love when they presented the DS-GTA.

Rockstar not Rockband.

The gap between the two games (even with the DS version launching 7 months prior and on a system that had what 2-3x the userbase) is within 250k.  I wouldnt be ringing the bell on making that my core arguement to have a Wii U version.

So the debate point against is simply that X360/PS3 owners will already buy it on their respective console?

What about Wii U owners that don't have a PS3/X360?
What about Wii U owners that do have a PS3/X360 but want the enhanced experience found on the Wii U version?

What about the fact that Ninja Gaiden 3, Metro :Last Light, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Batman: Arkham City, Battlefield 3, Darksiders II and others are also in development by 3rd parties? Are you just going to claim that 3rd parties shouldn't bother because they are already coming/on the PS3/X360?

What about the easy ROI factor? 250k units would likely cover the porting costs. Anything above breaking even is cost amortization which every developer would love to do.

It definitely destroys the R* can't sell games on Nintendo consoles argument.
