Take-Two Won’t Rule Out GTA Wii

Responding to analyst questioning at Thursday’s investor conference call, Take-Two CEO Ben Feder declined to comment on the possibility of a Grand Theft Auto on the Wii while at the same time alluding to its growing possibility.

When asked point blank by Hudson Square research analyst David Ernst if the burgeoning relationship between Take-Two and Nintendo meant a Wii GTA was in the cards, Feder said, “We have spent an enormous amount of time and effort working with Nintendo, developing that partnership. We continue to build that relationship. We think we have significant value to add to that partnership.”

He continued, “GTA: Chinatown Wars is certainly an important step in continuing to develop that relationship. So without commenting specifically on whether GTA is coming to the Wii or not, I will say that Nintendo and Take-Two work very very well together. We intend to continue to grow that relationship.”

It was also confirmed in the conference call that the Nintendo DS title Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars was on track for a winter release, though Feder and Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick declined to comment on whether or not it would release prior to the holiday season.

Grand Theft Auto remains Take-Two’s most valuable franchise. During the investor call, Take-Two chief financial officer Lainie Goldstein confirmed that GTA franchise sales made up 60% of the publisher’s revenues in the most recent quarter, compared to 13% of revenue being generated from catalog sales.

I read a article like this before.

"Who gives a shit about lame games like GTA?" Wait that is my gamer side speaking, let me switch to businessman mode. "Interesting news, they could develop a unique title taking advantage of the hardware. The profit margin may be higher than a multi platform HD release."

Well, they did port the engine that runs GTA4, after all. I doubt they intend to only use it for Table Tennis.

If I was t2 I'd most definitely be adding in a wii version into the mix for the next gta. I however don't think that means they'll stop making hd console and pc versions of the game as they already have the engine and all the assets made so the next game wouldn't cost 100 million to develop. Think how much it could sell if it was released on all the major consoles at once? It could very easily outsell san andreas.

Makes sense. The wii sells well. GTA sells well. Now they might sell well....together

Well it would be suprising if they would ignore the best selling console this generation, and GTA is a franchise that guarantees money. Chinatown Wars will sell on DS which would make release on the Wii, also the low development costs would add into that.

Why not? GTA on the Wii could be great if they do the controls right and don't tone it down.

correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that the wii couldn't handle GTA's huge world , and the physics are probably pretty complex for it as well
