When GTA4 is released will anyone even want to touch a Wii? My prediction is that GTA4 will force people to by a 360 or PS3 thus leaving the Wii to collect dust on shelves.

..... Oh wait I forgot about Brawl, that should kill GTA4:D.....:|....:roll:

Edit: Maybe I'm exaggerating by using the word "kill", What I'm trying to say is that GTA4 will make the Wii less mainstream/popular and slow down it's sales.

tl;dr: Wii will become the Gamecube.

How can a multiplat end a whole console? Besides, the Wii's death will be its own lack of good games. No one bring up WiiFit.

As unappealing as I find the Wii, I don't want it to die. No real gamer would want any console to die but most fanboys are insane and inert anyway.

No.

I'm pretty sure that the people who are loving Wiisports aren't the same people who will love GTA.

But I do think GTA will get the attention of the PS2 casuals who have yet to move on from last gen.

you are completely wrong about it being different people liking either game. I love wiisports and GTA. Then again I like just about every type of game except for kids-only games (a term not to be confused with nintendo's "kid-friendly" lineup).

I remember a thread just like this one only it was claiming that the GTA for the PSP would "kill off" the DS once and for all and well we all see how that turned out.

Actually, casuals tend to gravitate to GTA and WiiSports.

Halo 3, Gears, Mass Effect, Oblivion, Call of Duty 4 and Bioshock couldn't kill Wii.

So why would GTA4?

the celine dion has to be a joke account. nobody loves Celine Dion that much :o

what I think GTA4 will do is really help sell a lot more PS3s. It will be $400 and I see a high attachment rate for it.

GTA 4 and Mario Kart are slated to be released around the same time so another threat will be eliminated.

Don't be shocked if you see a GTA on the Wii, either around the same time, or shortly after release of GTA4... Wii owners mustn't worry.

No but i'm getting a PS3 for it, littlebigplanet, fallout 3, and maybe Tekken. Oh and I think i'll try playing God of War this time. I skipped both of the PS2 ones cause I lost my memory card and was too lazy to buy one so I just played other stuff on xbox. I hope I won't be lost on the story.

The only thing GTA4 is going to do is greatly bump up 360 sales. It will be just like GH3. It will sell wonderfuly on the 360, and bumpkis on the PS3.

Ok listen, GTA games are fun and all but there's really nothing outstanding about them. Sure they revolutionized sandbox gameplay, but thince GTA3 came out, none of the GTA games ahave played or been much different, the cites jjust get bigger and there are more missions. Most people who own a Wii won't be terribly interested in playing GTAIV especiall the mainstream. As far as casuals go, there will be several that will play GTAIV, but if they own a Wii and 360/PS3 they will go out and buy it play it for a couple of weeks and then go back to the Wii or another game they had. So GTAIV won't really hurt the Wii at all, especially since Brawl is coming out in early 2008. I'm definitly not alone in saying I'd rather play Brawl than GTAIV.

Do you mean kill as in terminate it from the console race? Sorry but no...

Apart from SSBB, Mario Kart and Nintendo's other 2008 games, Wii fit will be the game that will pushup the sales of Wii to a new height. So dont think that GTA 4, which is popular mostly in USA is going to kill a console that is impossible to find on a worldwide scale even after a year its been launched.

Nintendo wii Fad? 13million people + say no.

so yes as it has always been, you guys keep thinking that one game is going to destroy a console, which has already surpassed the sales and popularity of the 360 within 1 year.

It will hurt Wii in an indirect way. When GTA4 sells millions of copies on Xbox 360 and PS3, this makes Rockstar very happy. They will continue to support Microsoft and Sony more than Nintendo. Judging by the 12 copies Rockstar Table Tennis and Manhunt 2 sold, Rockstar is not going to go back to Nintendo anymore.

GTA4 won't kill Nintendo Wii. But Nintendo is not coming out of this smelling like roses either.

HAH! You can't kill Nintendo! Niny's like one of those bastard blue blobs that take like 40 shottie rounds at point blank to take down.

Seriously, even if it *hurts* Nintendo, its not going to even come CLOSE to making it whimper with pain. Considering the Wii is pulling some serious ass cainage this generation, she's got a buffer zone of moron casual gamer wallets to take the blow with. She's a sturdy grandma who will clip you round the ears if you try take her on face to face.

GTA will kill the Wii for sure... just like it turns gamers into real gangsters.

The Wii is bigger than GTA now. It's too late for it to get killed.
