Forums - Nintendo - RUMOR: GTA Wii hinges on success of GTA: Chinatown Wars

SaviorX on 13 March 2009

This is a dumb idea. How could the sales of a handheld game, be compared to that of a console game?

The two audiences could be two completely different things.

"Well, Pokemon sold 12 million on the DS, so I expect A Wii version to sell half that...Oh wait..."



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

What, another test?

@Star Scream

These "test" things really grind my gears. It has been almost 3 years. let the 50 million userbase pass you by why don't you. That way, you can develop games at the welfare line when you lose your job.

Food stamps have great textures, and concrete has great bump mapping.

What's would they be considering a success on DS anyway? Development is so cheap for DS that 150k - 200k would be a 'success' profit-wise already. It would have to completely bomb in order to not acheive that.
GTA:CW should easily clear 1m anyway.

It will definitely sell 2+ million.




Nintendo still doomed?

Absolutely agree with you, all this 'test' talk is pure bollocks coming from some developers, especially Capcom.

yeah, capcom pulled the fleece over our eyes already......us wii owners won't be fooled again.

I don't think it's too late to release the GTA game in 2011/2012. That's the time frame when DQX will be released.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Also, I think everyone realized for a GTA to come out on the Wii, it had to do great on the DS first.

Hmm I think I disagree , the success of GTA on the DS should offer an incentive to make a GTA for the Wii but it would be stupid to make it the determining factor.
