Yes, but it won't be GTA5. I don't think that will be released this generation. Wii along with PS3 and 360 will probably get spin-offs from the GTA4-univers, just like Vice City and San Andreas was

if the DS version turns a profit or close to it then there will be a wii version for sure

Where did you get that info from? It brought in $500m in its first week, and I would assume about 1/3 of that goes to Take 2,  and given that it is rumoured to have cost $100m to make, they made a decent profit, especially as that 500 figure is just first week

No.. GTAs install base is on the HD twins you won't see a new one built specially for the wii anytime soon.. besides the Wii's crowd isn't exactly GTA friendly.. just because you have a popular game that sells well on a certain system doesn't mean it will sell regardless of the system.. just look at MGS for xbox and gc

 In the same interview they same guy also said.

"Some of our best content really isn't appropriate for the Wii. That said, Carnival Games has been a massive success for the company, and we're looking at ... extending that brand to other areas."

and

"The success of the Carnival Games franchise gives us a great foundation upon which to build."

They won't ignore the Wii in the same way Ubisoft doesn't ignore the Wii. =P

Lotta people questionning how well GTA would seel on Wii - I think a good comparison would be looking at how well Guitar Hero sells on wii - they're both games that have roughly the same level of popularity.

And the same demographic of teens/young adults who like feeling like badass rockstars are the ones who want GTA the most. Say what you will but it ain't "Grandma Wii Sports bowler" who's buying all those copies of Guitar Hero and Rock Band on Wii.

I was wrong there btw, they made a Q4 loss, not an annual loss. The share tanked recently though.

And GTAIV did underperform. It costed $100 million, most expensive game ever, and sold 8 million copies less than GTA:SA.

Last time I checked IV has been out 6 months, and SA just over 4 years, IV will get over 15m, that game itself has made a profit even if Take 2 has not

There was a thread about it. Take2 has been posting losses every for every quarter except the GTA IV release quarter, which only posted a small profit. All in all, they are still loosing money, and would have to release a game of GTA proportions every quarter to be profitable. Which is one reason it would be silly of them to settle for PS360 GTA's.

It's actually 8 months, but ok. Thing is that the massive legs of the previous GTA's come from the casual audience of GTA. The people that want to steel cars and shoot people. There's a massive casual audience for GTA, that isn't present on PS360.

And please don't come with statements like "That's a different kind of casual" because acording to NPD 70% (!) of Wii owners also has a PS2.

And yes, the game made a profit, but that's obviously not the goal. The game had a certain target profit, which it probably didn't make, seeing the trouble T2 is in. GTAIV is T2's only really big franchise and releases only once every three years or so. Its sales should carry the company for those three years.
