No R* will be happy with the +15m sales that GTA IV will end up with

If the game really cost 100million to make I am not sure they will be that happy.  They'd probably be more happy with the 4 million plus Carnival Games will sell.

I think there probably will be a GTA on Wii.  Would be foolish to ignore the userbase and since there isn't really anything similar on Wii (other than the Godfather and Scarface ports) there is the potential for it to do very well due to lack of competition.  And I would not be suprised if it comes out before GTA5 on PS360.  Without external funding (from say Microsoft or EA) I'm not sure Take 2 can afford to make another GTA on PS360 in the near future.

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.

 

 

O.O!!!

Do you have a link to that statment? When was it made?
That's awesome to know.

You know what'd be perfect for the Wii, a GTA that looks EXACTLY like the illustration style they use for the box art.

And set it up in a newly designed, from scratch, Vice City. (like Liberty City was scrapped and re-imagined for GTA 4)

I think T2 already dropped huge hints on a GTA Wii.

"We can't ignore the Wii userbase. We just can't"
"Chinatown Wars will be a good testcase to see how more mature games sell on DS and Wii"

It's obvious there will be a GTA on Wii. GTAIV underperformed, they made a loss in the year a main GTA releases. They have to bring their biggest franchise to the biggest platform.

I don't know what's a main series GTA, it will not be GTAV, but more something like San Andreas. I hope they use the PS2 engine and improve the style to represent the artstyle of the boxarts.

 

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

http://ir.take2games.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=354830

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

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.

It sold another 160k last week, not bad legs....

I've been searching for links to this information, and I can't find anything.  Could you please tell me where you got this information?
