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


Why?

It would be a huge system seller, and Nintendo fans have shown support to GTA before (China town wars on DS)


why the hell would rockstar care if its a huge system seller?

Vita version is more likely than a wii U version

You too. I demand evidence.

High sale numbers from previous games on the psp vs no establish userbase on the wii U.

same thing can be said with the vita

None of this makes any sense. There was no GTA presence on Xbox until GTA was on XBox. There was no Final Fantasy presence on XBox until FF went there (or PlayStation for that matter). Those games did fine. If GTA5 was on Wii U it would sell way over 200k and make money and possibly convert a few new fans. I see no reason not to do it. It's a good game, Wii U owners would buy it.


its because xbox and PS have very similar, if not the same demographics. nintendo however, does not. 

also why is it in their interest to convert fans from Xbox and playstation to nintendo? dont they reach their fans already? why make them go to yet another platform? to increase future dev costs with developing games to 3 consoles instead of 2 when their entire fanbase are already on those 2 consoles?

A company making money is stupid now?


exactly thats the point, they wont make money

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

same could be said about CoD.... ohh wait

Yea, except CoD was released a few weeks late for the Wii U. Im sure anyone who wanted it bought it when it came out on the other consoles. Its still one of the better selling games on the Wii U. By that logic, its also stupid to release GTA5 for Ps4 and Xbox One.

isnt that sad, a game that sold 190K is one of the ebst selling games on the WiiU, your words. if one of the best selling games on the WiiU sold just 190K then why bother with the console?

i think you are overestimating nintendo. monster hunter is in no way a game like GTA. MH is a huge handheld and japanese game, handhelds are huge in japane, the dominant console in japan is the 3DS. now go look at the situation for GTA and you will see its very different

how many PS4/X1 were sold until now that proves the fact worth from them and not for Wii U?

 

I'm kidding, I know

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


actual no, its the opposite, because they have confidence in thier game they only NEED to release it on two systems. Putting your game all over the place sends the message, they are desperate to selll that game or really want to establish a user base.

i was not comparing, i kno that GTA is one of the biggest franchises in Existence. Im saying MH fans played only on Sony Systems then adjusted to Nintendo. GTA wont do this obviously but putting it on Nintendo can sell quite alot. Not Millions like X360/PS3 would but if WiiU took off With Hardware sales it could easily do Between 1mil-1.5mil (If WiiU takes off). Im not overestimating Nintendo. Even if Nintendo had the same third party support and same install base im sure Sony+M$ will outsold it 1 to 10. Im not an idiot
