They better have GTA V on the wii otherwise they are gonna make yet another big mistake cause they are losing money so why not have it on wii cause it has a huge userbase and so Iexpect it to sell no less than 3 million on the wii alone.

I hate it when people do this.

No More Heroes 2 had better be on PS360 because otherwise they are gonna make yet another big mistake cause the original sold 400k so why not have it on HD cause it has a larger userbase than Wii and I expect it to sell no less than 4 million on HD combined!

WHY would they make a Wii version? WHY would they want to compromise the scale and graphical quality for the measly few sales they would get on Wii? (as compared to the HD versions which would top 6 million sales each). 3 million is absolutely ridiculous. GTA5 wouldn't come near that on Wii. Call of Duty is just as large a franchise, and that didn't sell 3 million on Wii. The Wii fanbase is made up primarily of Nintendo fans and casual gamers, neither of whom would have much interest in GTA!

I don't understand why Wii fans think the Wii needs every big HD game. The fact is that the majority wouldn't work on Wii and would end up ridiculously broken, and they would sell badly, and you would say "Why don't third party developers put effort into Wii games?!", and Take Two would lose money, and nothing would have been gained by Rockstar, T2, Nintendo or Wii owners.

Kantor is correct.I hate when poeple don't f##king understand

Oh yes like Chinatown Wars destroyed the sales of Liberty City & Vice City Stories....

They would need to make a whole new engine for the Wii. And even though it might be cheaper developing on the Wii, it's still a huge game, so it will most likely be the most expensive Wii game ever. They would need to sell at least ~1.5 million units or it will probably make a loss.

EXACTLY.Barozi is correct

 

I hope they don't bring GTA on Wii.It will be bad for such a legendary franchise to sompromise on a game for greater profit..Chinatown Wars bombed on DS.

 

@Wii_Master

Then made a loss because of the devlopment cost of the engine that was created for GTA 4.They will easily recoup the cost with other games made on that engine.

they still had to make a profit off GTA4 though...even if the rumored 100 million budget is true the game sold over 10 million copies

I don't think their losses came from GTA4

Good to know Rockstar has a lot in store for HD owners in the next 2 years...GTA4 DLC, Max Payne 3, Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire,  Agent, and maybe a GTA5 announcement at 2010/11 E3

His post was one long run-on sentence. With that said, he is not of the level of the rest of us Wii fans. Pay him no heed.

Good to know, because at the moment, I see him as one step above YesWiiCan *shudder*

hmmm i wonder what the reaction was from the investor. Personally I'd be like "So you're trying to announce that you're not going to announce the announcement? and on a side note what's the deal with GTA5?"
