Forums - Gaming - GTA 5 Release Date For Wii U, PS4 & Xbox One: What’s The Story?

PS360 sold close to 160m, why on earth would they care for a little over 3m Wii-U owners. Even worse a part of those users wouldn't even be interested in a GTA game anyway. (Nintendo does seem to appeal to a slittly different demographic overall).

However GTA V is probably going to get a digital version on PS4 and Xbox One around holiday's 2014.

Makes a harsh statement, doesn't give arguments, ChinaTown sold more on DS than PSP, doesn't get banned. I get banned for calling The Last of Us an interactive movie.


go check the previous page where i gave my arguments to a mod himself, genius.

A company making money is stupid now?


exactly thats the point, they wont make money



If Rockstar have any confidence in GTA 5, they should release it on as many platforms as possible.

Considering how big the GTA series is, it would make money on any platform.

Wait, what? Ghosts is coming to the Wii U.

However, it isn't GTA V in scale at all. The requirements from it are far higher Though, porting from the 360 to the Wii U wouldn't be all that hard - they share quite a few similarities.



Stick to PS3/360 and maybe have a next gen version next year for PS4/X1. Forget about Wii U, no one would buy it.

1- irrelevant

2- lie. but even if true, then why release for ps4/xone if "all the fan base already owns ps360"

3- those 190k are about a 7% attach rate and it was 10% close to release day. it's a respectable amount considering the base, no matter what you say.

4- THE VAST MAJORITY of wii u owners are people who can enjoy games that range from gta to mario kart because, you know, liking one type of game doesn't rule out the others. and if you think kids aren't included in the audience for gta, you should check  the brats that swarm the online multiplayer for ps360 fps titles.

5- are you a developer know? cause I recall ubisoft saying it costs about a million to port to wii u, maybe a little more in the case of gta but it would still profit with less than 200k. it would probably sell 1kk+ and establish the franchise.

6- Irrelevant.

So all in all, you just hate nintendo and come up with whatever excuse for an argument you can think of to bash it. GTA5 on wii u will make money for rockstar and give a good adition to wii u owners game library, win win for everyone (except you, of course).

1- it is relevant, but your hurt feelings make you say otherwise.

2- i dont see an xbox or PS4 version announced, and even if they did it would be to those who are upgrading to those consoles, playstation and xbox fans who buy GTA and bought the previous ones.

3- the number of WiiU solds is shit, why bother with it then if even if having a high attach rate means shit sales? you just shot yourself in the foot there.

4- then you are saying we should base how we should predict sales on the games such as CoD and other FPS, then lets do that. CoD sold 190K...... hmmm what other FPS games are there? none, so it just managed 190K without competition, amazing. why would GTA sales be any better?

5- well you just contradicting yourself. they say it takes 1M to port any game which is the case of ubisoft games, not other games. Rockstar games are much bigger in scale. anyways, you say 200K would make a profit? has any ubisoft game that was ported reached 200K? didnt ubisoft themselfs say they were dissapointed with the WiiU. how do you know 200K would easily make a profit? are you a developer?

https://www.developersaccomplice.co.uk/ubisoft-confirms-wii-u-disappointment/

6- it is relevant, saying that a small console base has nothing to do with the sales of a console is one of the most ignorant things i ever heard

so all in all you just blindly support nintendo and come up with an argument that states a company should support it when all the logical evidence show that it would be a stupid idea to port the game to the console

the point is that it isnt worth it. specially for GTA
