if there was a wii U version you could add 20 to 30k to those numbers, Rockstar missed an opportunity again

LOL. 

we all know it would do at least 100k

30 mil this year? Unlikely. Will likely hit around 33-35mil LT, but yeah. Those sales are staggeringly good.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Best comment that i read today!  Too funny!

Sales are sales 

Your kidding me right?  Could you imagine the idea of creating a port for only 20-30k?  Let's see, 17,500,000 or 17,530,000.....

It's a joke, lol. But you shouldn't call a moderated comment the best comment you've read today >_>

You see, it is a joke.  that's why its funny.  It being moderated is a matter of opinion by the mods.  It is clear, if the joke is ever on the Nintendo products it must be moderated.  I think that the comment was an exxageration, but had a kernal of truth in there.  Nobody can deny that the WiiU sales are really struggling.  I am sure it would have sold more than 20-30 k, but not too much more than a couple hundred thousand.  Not the market their after anyway.  Either way, it was the best comment today, because it made me laugh.  I didn't think it was some type of mean spiritied attack on Nintendo.

Nah, GTAV will be extremely frontloaded. It'll end up selling 25 mill and thus becoming the best selling GTA of all time.


SA sold 27 mill. GTA V will do that easily. 

It did? OK, 30+ million it is, lol!


San Andreas had more content.

And no microtransactions

And was on the PS2

If I remember correctly there was a petition to bring GTA 5 to WiiU and it only scored about 1000 signatures. It would have done awful as a multiplatform but sold millions and millions as an exclusive. But the only way they could've made it an exclusive would be if Nintendo just bought Take-Two all together, say, a year back. Take-Two had a relatively low market cap so Nintendo could easily afford them.

The point of porting over the game for about 1 million $ would be offset by everything else and it would establish a rapport between rockstar and Nintendo's base that could be built upon.

Game devs seem to pass up good investments all the time

But I doubt they really care about GTA, lol.

Yeah, this is definitely doing an easy 30 million, especially after price drops.



Not counting GTA's online in the ingame content.

Why am I not counting it?
Micro-transactions.



Fantastic. Last year's top two at year's end, for reference:
