Now, it's true, GTA has a lot of casuals playing it "to kill hookas", but even so, the type of casuals that had GTA on the PS2 are not the majority of casuals that own a Wii only, at least on the West (In Japan it's different)...

I think 5 million is high, but lets take it, how much millions GTA is selling in PS360? PS3: 5.2M, 360: 6.6M, Total: 11.8M... The game is almost at 12 million being multiplatform, if the Wii sells 5M, this won't be enough to make it exclusive, but it will be more than enough to make it multiplatform (Wii-PS3, 360) which proves my point...

@Naum: I used a FPS because it shows that userbase alone is not enough to predict sales...

Ah so the "casual gamers" are diced up even further there are "Wii casual gamers" and "PS2 casual gamers"

It makes so much more sense now.

I hate using the "c" word (not cunt, i love that one ), but i had to use it since i was answering Lolcislaw, what i meant is that the majority of Wii-only owners in the West are not the kind of people that would play GTA... just looking at the Wii top sellers one sees the trend... Could this be different if GTAIV was a Wii exclusive? Yes, because the PS2 GTA fans would have to migrate to the Wii to play GTAIV, no problem with that. But now that won't work because GTA fans already migrated to the 360 and PS3 with GTAIV...

lol Nah, I hear you. However, I am not too sure if that's 100% accurate. The only way to know for certain is..well if a GTA game is made for the Wii and evaluate its performance. I think there is potential for R* on the Wii for more serious efforts than have been shown thus far.

Though in all honesty I fear for them. When like you said you sell a combined 13million copies of a blockbuster hit and have problems turning a profit that is serious trouble. You know the law of diminishing returns, it is unsustainable.

Grand Theft Auto games have come out on the ps2, Xbox, PS3, Xbox 360, PC, PSP and now the DS. Why wouldn't they release a Grand Theft Auto game on the Wii?

It won't be GTA 5, but it will be a GTA game.

Possible. But nothing major. Is it possible to say "Spin-off" for this series???

But anyway, I think the main series will stay go to one or both of the HD platforms.

The series will sell like hot cakes no matter what.... :S

I hope GTA V is Wii exclusive, not that I care much for the series, but man would that whipe some smug faces.

Honestly, i don't care that much about GTA, it's a fun series and all, but if someday it goes to a system i don't own, it won't have a problem with that... But i think that won't happen this gen since i own a Wii, a HD console and a Gaming Rig...

I just like to do analysis, but if i'm wrong (and i've had my share of wrongs) i'm cool with it...

That's a huge userbase of people who don't play games like GTA

What I think should be done is they should make one just for the Wii. Do not try and take what they already have or will make an port it to the Wii. Just make one from the ground up just for the Wii and then you will know it is grade A stuff!
