Take Two is pleased with Switch Game Results

None of that really matters. It's a major GTA game. It'd do well on ANY platform
You don't have to convince me. Convince the people in charge.
Because LA Noire was getting a remaster on all platforms. They decided to add a Switch version.
It's very simple. It's not like they chose LA Noire over GTA V.
They are probably waiting the right time to port GTAV, when the userbase will be big/mainstream enough to maximize profits.
Between this Holiday and the next is my bet.

Too bad all future versions of GTA games up to IV will be missing music due to licensing.
To this day I have no idea if this is true or not but RDR code is a mess, that's the main reason that there is no PC port (I find it funny how in one of Take 2's investor meetings they were asked if RDR2 would get a PC port, people know that it would sell a lot, despite being released later than the other versions the PC version of GTA V still managed to sell over 12 million copies), so getting RDR to run on N/S would possibly be a big under taking that Take 2 does not want to do unless it will make them a lot of money.
By the way dumb but serious question: How much did Doom sell on N/S? Some one here might now but I don't think I heard anything then it just sold well was all.
Bully is very possible
I will say, after patching, NBA 2K18 runs really well on the Switch. I played exclusively handheld and being able to play myGM mode on the go really sold me on the "full game but portable" experience. It led me to preorder NBA 2K19, and I rarely preorder games.
Jesus Christ, bring Grand Theft Auto V to Switch already. Everyone wants to play a fucking GTA 5 portable.
Does anyone honestly believe this is why they ported LA Noire instead of GTA?
lol
Hell, just give me Chinatown Wars 2 with the return of the drug trading system, and I'd be more than happy.
Why weren't GTA 3, VC, or SA ported to the Wii?
Why hasn't any mainline GTA been ported to a Nintendo console?
People need to wake up to the political realities of the gaming industry

I wouldn't hold my breath.
Here's the deal.
I'm going to take you on a wild ride kiddo's. Time to put on your tinfoil hats.
GTA has sold hundreds of millions of copies to.... let's call them Ben and Jerry.
Ben and Jerry have had a longstanding golden relationship with Rockstar/Take Two for damn near 20 years. They've made hundreds of millions together. Ben and Jerry even pay the out ass for exclusive marketing promotions. Take Two/Rockstar is very happy with them.
But hold on, some guy named Simon enters the room. He's not interested in paying for exclusive marketing promotions but he sure would like GTA.
Now sure, Take Two/Rockstar can sell millions of copies to Simon, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not going to be the same level of sales they have built up with their Ben and Jerry fanbases over the years.
Ben would prefer that Take Two/Rockstar only do GTA business with him and reluctantly that other business mogul Jerry, and not have split his cut in the market with Simon as well as Jerry.
and to this Take Two/Rockstar say......
Yes

These are way less effective when you already admit to wearing your crazy pants.

I don't think that would be the case considering the engine LA Noire use isn't RAGE.
As for GTA5 coming to Switch, I doubt it. Their biggest money maker and feature is GTA Online and they cut off Last Gen to be able to make bigger updates and to lower the porting costs. I do not see them making a port without GTA Online because people would complain it isn't there and they wouldn't get any MTX money.
Who knows though, Rockstar is Rockstar so maybe they might decide to port it.
You view the games industry as more nefarious and with more backdoor shady deals than what actually happens in reality.I wouldn't hold my breath.

The truth is that Take Two wanted to just test the waters. LA Noire was already getting a remaster and ran on lower hardware than the Switch, so it was more of a "why not" move to check how the market responded. It seems to have responded well. That doesn't mean Take Two's gonna just funnel money into GTA 5 on Switch though.
Realistically we'll probably see a $60 collection of the Android ports of GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas. Why? Because 80% of the work's already done. They already run on lower hardware, they're already fully functional on the Tegra X1, and they can fit them all on a cart for pretty cheap. And if they charge $60 for the collection people will still say it's a bargain despite costing 4 times as much as the 3 are on Android currently.
I wouldn't hold my breath.

Lmao I gotta admit. This was entertaining to read
I'm not saying they should port RDR. But I'm not not saying that either.
I feel like GTAV might be a shoe-in at this point. If only because of the potential multiplayer revenue.

The ROI on that game must have been absolutely staggering. I still laugh when I think about it.
So from what I understand from your post, MS and Sony teamed up and paid Rockstar to not put GTA on Nintendo?I wouldn't hold my breath.

GTAV's never coming to the system, and frankly you'd be highly naive to think otherwise. There's a slightly higher chance of some of the older games being released on the Switch but, even then, that's still about as likely as the console getting a post-VII Final Fantasy game, and that's to say there's next-to-no chance of it ever happening.
The most we can expect from Take Two are the NBA 2K games and the occasional minigame collection. Expecting anything more is expecting waaay too much.

I still think GTA is coming. Pretty sure Vern was one of the first to mention LA Noire's existence and definitely the first to mention it for Switch. He said the one everyone is expecting is coming. Unless he meant RDR, can't imagine what else that could mean.

are people going to be happy if only the single player portion of gta5 is ported to switch? i doubt they would bother with online.
Why would they not include GTAonline, why is that an assumption at all
