GTA 5 on Wii U: Never Released (Platform List)

• PS4 / Xbox One — Nov 2014
• PC — Apr 2015

Why Not Wii U?

• Launched 2012; underpowered vs. PS3/360 (GPU/CPU/RAM).
• Small install base (~13M) — poor ROI for Rockstar’s massive engine.
• Nintendo’s strict online / storage policies at the time.
• Rockstar focused on PC/next-gen ports instead.

Wii U got no GTA title. Closest: Watch Dogs (delayed, poor port), Need for Speed Most Wanted U (Criterion, excellent).
