Good to see Aces on here. It’s well deserved. And GTA V still raking in profits. I hope they make a Switch port eventually.

According to Nintendo Switch’s lifespan will be around 10 years (with two major revisions i assume). It could sell over 100 million units. I think at least 10% of Switch owners would like to have (mobile) GTA V on Switch. Rockstar would make big bucks with this. I guess it will come some day.

that’s a fair estimate, but honestly though, on past Nintendo systems, especially handhelds (GBA, DS) the GTA games on them sold like garbage (like less than 1 million), so we’re probably talking about them having to reach something like 95 or maybe even 98 million outside of Nintendo given just how GTA has fared on Nintendo systems in the past (likely also why Rockstar is so reluctant now to put it on them)…

When games are bold and well-rounded they did sell. Value it’s important for Nintendo software too.
