Why no GTA on Wii? It 'didn't feel natural'

Why aren't we talking about a Grand Theft Auto game on Wii and instead are flipping over magazine scans for a DS version? Well, because the platform didn't feel like a natural fit for GTA, said Dan Houser, Rockstar co-founder. "It didn't feel natural to us, I guess. It really was that the DS felt like it had a lot of interesting challenges that would be totally different from what we'd done in the past," he said. Oh, and the Wii isn't a challenge and totally different from anything else?

But what about the future? Come on, Dan, you can't be ruling out the most popular console in the world, can you? "
We haven't really done any concrete, major thinking about the Wii, one way or another," he said. Okay, so it's not the most pleasant quote, but it appears he isn't ruling out the console. Personally, we'd appreciate something as stylish as the DS game on the Wii. What about doing something like that, Rockstar?
