I was talking about Call of Duty Black Ops 2. But pretty much every Wii U port is halfassed, except for a few like Need For Speed Most Wanted and Tekken Tag 2, excpt those games were late as hell.  And i think its a little ignorant to say that Wii U owners wouldnt buy GTA5 on their Wii U (if it comes out) and instead buy it on Ps3 and 360.

 


This is a pretty good reason for them not to release the game on Wii U. +1 sale on the Wii U is also -1 sale on the PS360.


not really....


Anyone who cares about this game will already have a PS360.

Thats a pretty broad assumption... I guess if you dont have a Ps3 or 360, you cant want GTA5

I would say it is a pretty good guess. The library on PS360 is massive, anyone who values third party games will have one. I have a Wii U, and would have got GTA 5 for it, but I won't pretend I bought it for anything other than Nintendo games. Anyone who did has made a huge mistake, that is pretty obvious at this point.

it would be the stupidest thing ever if rockstar released the game on the WiiU


This. 

When I read the title of the OP I kinda did a double take when I read WiiU... They talked about realeasing it on Next Gen consoles and PC.... The U is somewhere muddled in the middle and lost in no mans land. They definitely won't be getting GTA5. Not in this lifetime anyways.

you are looking at it from the "nintendo-fan" perspective. why would rockstar care if it would help sell the console?


Thank you for trying to "put words in my mouth" and assume how I think.

No, I'm looking at it from a practical perspective. Just because I have a pic from the old Super Mario Bros. Super Show, doesn't mean I'm "just a Nintendo fanboy". I own a PS3 and a PC, along with a Wii and Wii U. So again, thanks.

As for why Rockstar would care? I dunno....because they like money? There would be significant enthusiasm, I think, for GTAV, and for many gamers on the fence about getting a Wii U, GTAV being on it just might be the game that sways them. And if the game DID help sell units at all, that would eventually mean even more customers and profit for Rockstar.

 

The better question isn't "why should they?". It's "Why not?". Have a nice day.

I mean no harm... as I can honestly say I do have love for the WiiU.. But as I stated before... You would have to be from another planet to think Rockstar would ever want to put GTA5 on WiiU... There is a million reasons not to do it, and maybe like 5 reasons to do it... 

 

and the reasons you just listed... Gives off a very strong smell of desperation and grasping at straws... Putting a AAA game on a mightily struggling console to help Rockstar?? Sounds to me like you want GTA5 to help out the WiiU.... and you are making your pitch... But that was Ball 4... Take your base..

NFS, ME3(the game itself is not halfassed), COD BLOPS2, Sonic and Sega all stars, Tekken, Epic Mickey2, JD4, AC3, Injustice, Ninja Gaiden, RE Revelations, Batman...my point is their are VERY few games that are half assed on Wii U you must have gotten crap copies or something. I think GTA FANS wouldnt wait to play the game. Its safe to say that if the game did come to Wii U it would be a late port, so TRUE fans wouldnt wait to play the game. 

All the games in bold were months to years old when they came out on Wii U. Not a fair argument. and Who the hell in their right mind would buy Mass Effect 3 for 60 bucks on Wii U when they can get the Trilogy on other consoles for the same price.

Youre just making poor excuses on why the Wii U shouldnt get GTA5, even though a fair port could be somewhat profitable.

ALl the games i mentioned were NOT gimped ports which is what you said alot of them were. Just cause they were late doesnt mean they were gimped. Who would buy ME3 for WIi U? People who ONLY have Wii U and are interested in the game. What difference would it make to that person if the other systems had the trilogy or not, its not like they could buy it for a system they dont own.

You havent given any reasons at all on how a Wii U port would be profitable, or counter anyone's argument.

This, its just common sense really. THere arent even that many Wii Us that have been sold. If you dont have a PS3 or 360 by NOW then you didnt really want GTA or at least you didnt want it badly enough. Its 2013

But you previously said that there's no point in putting GTAV there because everyone who wants it will already have a PS3 or 360. Thus the same applies for Mass Effect.

There's no consistency in your argument.
