Yeah, probably the real reason. Most companies don't take a chance. Hell, Rockstar can't lose much if any money by just straight porting it. They've made more then enough money off of GTA3/VC on PS2.

No kidding, but i mean, i think there are lots of people who own a cube and would buy it. The controller would work just fine *looks at the game and spits*

Of course they're not going to lose money off of their total net profits for the game, that's impossible, but it still costs a lot of money to print up instructions, stamp the discs, assemble the cases, ship the game to retailers, etc. I'm sure if there were any chance of the game making a profit they'd do it.

Good game or not most cube exclusive owners took a "this game sucks because it's not on the gamecube" attitude toward GTA after 3 didn't come to the cube back in 01. NO ONE who owns both an xbox or ps2 and a gamecube would buy this for the cube and if you believe that they would then you're lying to yourself.

As for the game working well with the cube controler.

Does the game require frequent use of either the right stick or the D-pad?

If it does, then it's a crappy game for the controler.

No... the stick will be just fine, it's just the fact that it uses every damn Ps2 button... L1, L2, L3, R1, R2, R3, Triangle, Square, Circle, X, Start Select, and the sticks/D-Pad. It's not impossible, but it's hard to imagine making it work without serious tweaking.

Ya, the game uses all the buttons... It would be cool to see how they would switch up the controls to the GCN though.

You would have to be just plain stupid to think they couldnt get it to work with the Cube controller. Sure, it might take a little extra effort to make it work, but I know it can be done, if everything is utilized like the Digital clicks, D-pad, ect. Or they could just have something like when you hold down both R buttons at the same time, some of the button functions change. I thought that one up in 2 seconds in my head. With a little thinking, it could easily be mapped to work well on the Cube controller. And if it's space issue, they could just use multiple discs as other Cube games have. Its prolbably more an issue of userbase than anything...they dont think it will sell enough to be worth their effort to port it.
