I'd hardly call the bolded AAA, especially the EA yearly crap.

Too bad AAA status is determined by budget and not what you think of the game in question.

A "few extra mill" (which is not guaranteed) is not worth their time when they're going to make $1 billion + on PS360.

Gangbusters? Please no ...

Another thing, do you have figures on how much time it would take R* to port to WiiU? Time that could be better spent on DLC that in itself will sell millions on PS360, or onto another game. This is exactly why the $1m figure is not one size fits all.

1 Billion? what are you smoking?


Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 made 500 million dollars in the first day and a billion in 2 weeks. Since GTA is just as popular it's a safe bet that it'll get +billion.

a $60 game selling 20M generates more than a billion REVENUE, profits are a different story. Also, consider that call of is a yearly rehashed game so activision certainly profits more per unit than most other games in the market.

It isn't about if we (ps, xbox owners) want the game to be on Wii U or not, we really don't care the platform the games is released as long as everybody can play the game, the point of the argument is if it really worth the port for the developer perspective and since we don't work for them, every argument including yours is based solely on opinion.

So porting it is just a thing of copy and paste then?, so you're saying it doesn't matter the type of game, every game will cost around a million, if it is that easy, why in the hell the console are missing a lot of AAA multiplatform titles on the console? oh yeah, I know, the conspiracy theory.

Bananaking and oniyide have provide enough evidence that support my opnion, I won't repeat the same again, but something is for sure, if rockstar decide to not port the game on the console, it because it isn't worth it for them, not because their hate o any conspiracy theory, or because they are stupid. The game has been 5 years on development and they know the game will sell more than 20 million on ps3/360/pc alone.

bolded: speak for yourself, there's a huge amount of haters who clearly don't want wii u to receive games.

bolded2: who said that? if I were saying that it would imply 0 cost to port.

bolded3: please list that "a lot", cause wii u is getting most AAA multiplatforms for 2013.

bolded4: you say they provide EVIDENCE but what i say is PURELY OPINION. sorry but... OBJECTION!

bolded5: I wouldn't rule out stupidity for all companies, just look at EA.

bolded6: and how is that relevant? profiting enough on those platforms means they should leave money on the table with wii u? they'd get an extra few millions with a wii u version and it would pave the way for future gta titles to do gangbusters.

Zero999 go do some research then come back and try again, GTA 5 making a billion dollars is very do able considering GTA 4 made 500million in its first week and has gone on to make more than 1 billion dollars.....Just shows how much you know.

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.

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.

bolded: excep for the 10 times it was said that it shouldn't take much more than 100k  to proft (it will probably reach 1M) from the port + the benefits of establishing the franchise.

do you work for Rockstar? Do you know how much they would need to sell to make a profit? Because unless anyone here actually works for said company, it is speculation at best, pulling numbers from their butt at worst.

We have information from ubisoft of how much it costs to port a game, from there it's just simple math. now let me ask you a question: why do you think developers will release games on ps4/xone? certainly most of those games won't do much more than 100/200k on a 2M installed base wich by your logic, means those games shouldn't be released there.

Ubisoft and Rockstar are not the same company, so Ubi cant possibly speak for Rockstar can they.

They are releasing games on PS4 and One for the same reason they have done so for PS123, xbox, 360. They are the natural follow ups to systems they have been supporting for years. Notice PS4 and One are NOT getting GTA probably for the same reasons the WIi U isnt getting it. Funny how that works

You're right it is revenue, still they'd make so much money that an extra few millions wouldn't be very significant. There's also DLC which they will be getting most of the costs for themselves.

i can see GTAV selling at least 500 thousand copies on wii U.
easily.

sorry went completely off topic, got side tracked by GFWL, the Wii U should get a port of GTAV, what's the worst that could happen, poor sales?

its not so much about loosing anything, its about gaining, and RS might feel they have nothing to gain. Now the argument could be made that they could just make one out of hte goodness of their hearts, but that would still take time and this isnt a charity.

a few extra million for a mere port of an already complete game is certainly significant. especially when it can turn into dozens of millions in the next installment.

I guess so. I still feel that Nintendo should try to make this happen. They shouldn't expect R* to do it on their on.
