According to this how much would GTA5 need to sell? cant be bothered working it out.

something between 100k and 200k. and we're talking about a possible million seller.

About 200k to 500k? Depends on how much effort Rockstar put into the port, and similar things.

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. 

I would totally buy mass effect 3 for wii u if I had the console, but NOT with the trilogy releasing a week before on everything else. It's too much of a disrespect with the consumer.

why a gta5 version would be profitable and positive in every sense of the word was already said again and again on this topic. you're the troll hater who keeps deluding yourself even after all the arguments were already rubbed in your face.

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.


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

so, someone that doesn't have a ps360 is not allowed to want certain games. boy, your whining only gets better.

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.

Because you can get the trilogy for other consoles, that makes Mass Effect 3 not worth the price, which is probably why it sold badly. Thats like if Rockstar made a GTA5 port for Wii U, but only gave you one character, no online, and cut the world in half, and expected people to buy it.

So are you insinuating every PC/mobile/DS/3DS/PSP/OUYA/MAC etc owner did not own/play/want a GTA game when all the formats mentioned have GTA games on them, the WiiU spec makes it as good as the PS3/360 so why would Rockstar miss an oportunity to expand to the WiiU, even Nintendo would welcome GTAV on the WiiU and no doubt boost its sales in the process.

ive already said that Mass Effect 3 is a pointless port, hell i made a list of pointless ports in a thread not too long ago. The same could be said for GTA though, but the amount of people who fit that description is so small that it most likely wouldnt be a point in RS putting it their, just like their wasnt no point to having ME3 on Wii u.

Disrespect is a strong word, its video games, not politics or anything important, but if thats the way you feel thats the way you feel. Wait...you dont even have Wii U? then what are you complaining about? LOL

No one had any arguments, no one proved anything, it all came down to Im a Ninty fan and i want the game on a Ninty console, which is fine but that doesnt prove how it will be profitable. RS would not sell that much more copies to justify a port especially a late one.
